Enter this property’s Power Production information here. Select “More” to input an additional type of Power Production and information. Select “Delete” to remove. WARNING: Delete cannot be undone.
- Power Production Annual Status: This field allows the status of the number shown in the Power Production Annual to be clarified.
- Power Production Type: Choose from a list of the types of power production system(s) available on the property. A relational implementation of power production must omit the type from the field name and use Power Production Type to create a vertical representation of the various types of power production available. **Note that PV Solar is the only type of power production currently justified in multiple markets and thus shown. Up and coming renewables that could be added in the future depending on uptake: Wind, Geothermal, Thin Film Solar.
- Power Production Year Install: The year a renewable system was installed. Ideally this should be the year the system was interconnected with the grid and began producing power. Renewable systems have a limited lifespan and year installed helps buyers and appraisers determine remaining useful life of the system.
- Power Production Size: The “capacity” of a renewable system. Size is measured in kilowatts (kW) DC (referring to direct current). A kW indicates how much power the system can produce under standard conditions, like the size of a car engine. Renewable systems are sized when they are installed to cover all or a portion of the power needs of the property. Therefore, a system designed to produce 50% of the power needs will be sized smaller than a system on the exact same property designed to produce 100%.
- Power Production Annual: The most important metric of a renewables system is the amount of power it produces per year. This number can be actual or estimated. Annual production for systems producing electricity like wind or solar are measured in kilowatt hours (kWh) per year. A kWh is like a measure of the distance traveled per hour for a car – how far did it go over a certain period of time. Annual production is influenced by the size of the system, the conditions (How shady are the trees? How many cloudy days?, and the installation. Sellers typically have access to software that provides historical production totals.
