Solar power in New Hampshire provides a small percentage of the state's electricity. State renewable requirements and declining prices have led to some installations. One study found that photovoltaics on rooftops can provide 21% of all electricity used in New Hampshire.〔(Report Argues for a Decentralized System of Renewable Power Generation )〕 A 2012 estimate suggests that a typical 5 kW system costing $25,000 before credits and utility savings will pay for itself in 11 years, and generate a profit of $32,061 over the rest of its 25-year life.〔(New Hampshire )〕 New Hampshire has a rebate program which pays $0.75/W for residential systems up to 5 kW, for up to 50% of the system cost, up to $3,750.〔(Renewable Energy Rebate Program )〕 However, New Hampshire's solar installation lagged behind nearby states such as Vermont and New York, which in 2013 had 10 times and 25 times more solar, respectively. Net metering is available for up to 1 MW generation, but is capped at 50 MW. Excess generation is perpetually rolled over each month, and customers can elect to be paid at avoided cost once a year.〔(New Hampshire Net Metering )〕 The organization Freeing the Grid gave the state a B for net metering and a D for interconnection.〔(Freeing the grid )〕 The state renewable portfolio standard calls for 25% of electricity from renewable energy in 2025, including 0.3% from solar.〔(Renewables Portfolio Standard )〕 Noncompliance fees are used to fund renewable energy, and resulted in payments of $1.3 million in 2009〔(Annual RPS Compliance Report for 2009 )〕 and $2.6 million in 2010.〔(Annual RPS Compliance Report for 2010 )〕 A 2014 review by the state found the "business-as-usual" model predicted that the state's 2025 goals would not be met.〔(New Hampshire 10 Year Energy Strategy ), New Hampshire Office of Energy and Planning, September 2014〕 In 2005, New Hampshire's largest solar array was the 50 kW installation on the roof of the Stonyfield Farm yogurt factory.〔(Stonyfield Farm Solar Array )〕 It remained the largest in the state until PSNH installed a 51 kW array on their roof in 2009.〔(Solar at Energy Park )〕 In 2012, New Hampshire's largest solar array was the 525 kW facility on the top level of the Manchester Airport parking garage.〔(Project Experience: Manchester Airport Solar Project, New Hampshire )〕 In 2015, the largest solar farm in the state was at the Peterborough wastewater treatment plant, a 942kW installation with 3,100 solar panels on .〔(Peterborough to turn on state's largest solar-power facility ), ''Concord Monitor'', November 6, 2015〕 In a pilot program, a solar panel was installed on a few utility poles, four in Nashua and four in Berlin. The output can be monitored online.〔(Solar on Utility Poles )〕 New Hampshire's average electricity price of 16.47¢/kWh is the sixth highest in the country.〔(Residential Electricity Prices, April 2012 (cents/kWh) )〕 ==Installed capacity== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Solar power in New Hampshire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
