About: Solar power in North Carolina

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Solar power in North Carolina has been increasing rapidly, from less than 1 MW (megawatts) in 2007 to 6,152 MW in 2019, and has the second-largest installed PV capacity of all U.S. states. SunEdison built a 17.2-megawatt solar farm in Davidson County. A 2018 Smithsonian Magazine article described North Carolina as likely being the national leader in the "solar shepherd phenomenon" – combining sheep farming with solar power plants to reduce the high costs of grass trimming.

  • La energía solar en Carolina del Norte ha aumentado rápidamente, pasando de menos de 1 MW (megavatios) en 2007 a aproximadamente 1437 MW en 2015, y tiene la segunda capacidad instalada más grande de los estados de EE. UU. ​ SunEdison construyó una granja solar de 17,2 megavatios en el condado de Davidson. ​ Otros contratistas de energía solar prominentes en Carolina del Norte incluyen Strata Solar, Baker Renewable Energy y Cypress Creek Renewables. ​ Debido a la disminución de los costos del panel solar, una subvención federal del 30 por ciento conocida como una subvención 1603 estaba disponible hasta el 31 de diciembre de 2011, ​ y un crédito fiscal del 30 por ciento está disponible hasta 2019 (disminuyendo al 10% para 2022). ​ El crédito fiscal federal se suma a los incentivos locales y paga el costo de la instalación, que puede ser transferido si se deben menos impuestos ese año. La diferencia entre una deducción de impuestos y un crédito fiscal es sustancial, ya que una deducción depende de su tasa de impuestos para determinar sus ahorros, pero un crédito fiscal está directamente disponible para pagar el costo de la instalación. ​ ​ Una estimación de 2012 indicó que generador solar estándar de 5 kW se pagaría solo en 6 años y, posteriormente, generaría una ganancia sustancial. ​ ​ Además de los incentivos federales, el estado tiene un Estándar de cartera renovable del 12,5% para 2021 y un crédito fiscal estatal de energía renovable, ambos de los cuales se han acreditado con el impulso de las instalaciones solares. ​ ​ ​ Un artículo de la revista Smithsonian de 2018 describió a Carolina del Norte como el líder nacional en el "fenómeno del pastor solar" – combinando la cría de ovejas con plantas de energía solar para reducir los altos costos de la poda de pasto. ​ Fuente: NREL ​ (es)
  • Solar power in North Carolina has been increasing rapidly, from less than 1 MW (megawatts) in 2007 to 6,152 MW in 2019, and has the second-largest installed PV capacity of all U.S. states. SunEdison built a 17.2-megawatt solar farm in Davidson County. Because of declining solar panel costs, a 30 percent federal grant known as a 1603 grant was available through December 31, 2011, and a 30 percent tax credit is available through 2019 (declining to 10% by 2022). The federal tax credit is in addition to any local incentives and pays for the cost of installation, which can be rolled over if fewer taxes are owed that year. The difference between a tax deduction and a tax credit is substantial, as a deduction depends on your tax rate to determine your savings, but a tax credit is directly available to repay the cost of installation. A 2012 estimate indicated that a typical 5 kW solar array would pay for itself in 6 years, and thereafter generate a substantial profit. In addition to federal incentives, the state has a Renewable Portfolio Standard of 12.5% by 2021 and a state renewable energy tax credit, both of which have been credited with boosting solar installations. A 2018 Smithsonian Magazine article described North Carolina as likely being the national leader in the "solar shepherd phenomenon" – combining sheep farming with solar power plants to reduce the high costs of grass trimming. According to a report from the Solar Energy Industries Association, as of June 2019, North Carolina generates 5.81% of its electricity through solar power, and ranks second (up from 3rd in 2018) in total installed photovoltaics.
