Going Solar- A Portland Case Study

by Brent Sainsbury Enlightening Real Estate

The city of Madison is one of about 25 solar cities in the country. Through the MadiSUN solar energy program the city promotes solar for homes and businesses. As many of you know, I recently installed a Solar PV affirming my belief that solar will play an important role in our energy future. I recently sat in on a presentation by David Sweet of Portland, Oregon about his organization Solarize NorthEast (Portland,OR) that streamlines and purchases solar systems in bulk and at a large discount. Their first phase had over 350 prospects sign up and about 150 homes that have completed or are in some stage of the insulation process. In comparison, in 2008 there were only a couple of dozen of solar projects in the city of Portland. Thanks to the purchasing power of this organization, state and federal incentives, members are paying as little as 80% of the early adapter price, a category which, sadly, I fit into. Members are paying approximately $6/watt (before state and federal incentives) for an average system rating of 2.5 Kilowatts (KW). Their predicted simple payback with incentives (the amount of time it takes the energy savings to pay for the cost of installation) is 7 years at a net cost of $1,500. In comparison I put a 4.62 KW system, paid $8/watt installed and predict a 12-13 year payback.

How did they do it? It seems neighborhood organizations played a pivotal role. David, with the help of a few dedicated volunteers, sought out neighborhood organizations, single family home owners and other members of the community using neighborhood newsletters, flyering, social network and media releases. A small grant was used to hire a website designer to set up on-line registration. Then came the challenge of choosing the contractor to install all of these panels. The organization issued a RFP (request for proposal) to solar contractors all over the Northwest. True to their environmental soul, contractors were judged on their commitment to sustainable practices, use of local products and diversity in hiring. Web registrations were divided into 3 categories. Registrants that just wanted to learn about solar were told to attend an educational seminar to decide to move forward or not. The second group knew they wanted to participant but didn't know if their property was a good applicant. One of the contractor's solar site assessors worked with this group. The final group was ready to go. After signing a contract and putting down $1,000 earnest money, the contractor's designers contacted and designed the system and placed it in a queue for the solar installers. From the time the website was up and running to the time the last panel was installed--about 8 months.

As far as I can see the benefits far outweigh the costs. The only negative response David talked about was from a solar contractor whose company did not win the RFP saying that this was the 'WalMartization of solar" and that Mom and Pop shops could not compete. On the positive side, the contractor hired 22 new installers, the city has a cleaner, more diverse energy grid, and the home owner purchasing power went further. This project has spurred the local economy and is pushing the community forward.

Brent's top ten of free things to do in Madison

Brent Sainsbury (www.MadRelo.com, www.EnlighteningRealEstate.com) — Thu, 28 May 2009 11:54:54 -0700

Brent's top ten of free things to do in Madison (click on hyperlink for more info)

1. Henry Vilas Zoo.

On June 30, 1904, Col. William F. and Anna M. Vilas gave a large tract of land to the Madison Park and

Pleasure Drive Association "for the uses and purposes of a public park and pleasure ground." in memory

of the Vilas' son, Henry, who died at a young age due to complications from diabetes. One of the family's

stipulations was that admission to the park remained free.

2. Concert's On the Square.

Every Wednesday night from mid June to Late July the Wisconsin Chamber led by Maestro Andrew Sewell

hosts a free concert on the capital lawn. Attendees are welcome to put down a blanket and enjoy an nice

picnic dinner wile enjoying beautiful classical music.

3. Geology Museum.

On your visit you can touch rocks from a time when there were volcanoes in Wisconsin; see corals, jellyfish

and other sea creatures that used to live and swim where we now walk, stand under the tusks of a

mastodon or take a look at the glowing rocks and minerals. If dinosaurs are your thing they have them too.

4. Bike Paths

The Madison Mayor's Platinum Bicycling committee has concluded that the bicycle is a vehicle for positive

social change. Madison has long been one of the best places to bicycle in America and is the national model

for bicycle friendly communities.

5. Dog Parks

Madison and the surrounding communities feature many on and off-leash dog parks. What could be more

enjoyable for you or your dog then watching him retrieve a tennis ball from the lake at Warner Park.

6. The University of Wisconsin Union Terrace

This should be a no brainer to anyone who has ever met me. Enjoy free summer concerts, watch the sailboats

have a tasty beverage, anyway you look at it there is no better place to spend time in the city (or maybe the world)

7. Free Art Exhibits

There are many opportunities to see free art exhibits in the city but you cannot miss the shows at the Madison

Museum of Contemporary Art in the Overture center.

8. Libraries

We have one of the best library systems in the world. In 2008 the system circulated over 4.66 million

library books and media from nine different library locations throughout Madison - more than 20 check

outs for every Madison resident

9. Olbrich Botanical Gardens

Stroll through 16 acres of outdoor display gardens including the Rose Garden, Thai Pavilion and Garden,

Sunken Garden, and Perennial Garden. Enjoy a tropical paradise in Olbrick's Bolz Conservatory, a glass

pyramid filled with exotic plants and flowers, small birds, an rushing waterfall and fragrant orchids.

Outdoor Gardens are open daily and are free to all. Admission to the Bolz Conservator is $1 per person

and free to all on Wednesday and Saturday from 10 am to noon.

10. Walking tour of Historic Homes

Taking a historic walking tour is a great way to learn about Madison, it history and people. University Heights,

Mansion Hill East and King Street. $5/ person for a guided tour unless a member of the Madison Trust.

Housing Prices in Madison From the WRA

Brent Sainsbury (www.MadRelo.com, www.EnlighteningRealEstate.com) — Wed, 20 May 2009 20:00:53 -0700

MADISON, WI - Wisconsin home sales and median prices both fell in the first quarter of 2009 compared to that same quarter last year according to data just released by the Wisconsin REALTORS® Association (WRA). The lingering national recession caused unemployment in Wisconsin to increase significantly during the first three months of the year, resulting in the housing market drop, according tot he WRA. "The housing market doesn't operate in a vacuum," said Michael Mulleady, Chairman of the Board of the WRA. "The national economic environment drives Wisconsin's economy and that in turn drives our housing market." Mulleady noted the national economy shrank by more than 6 percent in the first quarter, causing Wisconsin's unemployment rate to jump from 5.9 percent in December 2008 to 8.5 percent in March 2009.

Existing home sales in the state fell 22.6 percent in the first quarter compared to the first quarter of 2008. This was worse than the nation, which was down just 6.8 percent due primarily to healthy growth in the West from sales of deeply discounted foreclosed homes in the first quarter. In fact, home sales were up 24.3 percent in the West, while they fell 20.1 percent in the Northeast and they dropped 12.7 percent in the South and 13.1 percent in the Midwest.

Despite the severity of the downturn, there are reasons for cautious optimism, according to Mulleady. "Mortgage rates are now in the 5 percent range and banks are willing to lend to buyers with solid credit histories," he said, adding that the federal stimulus package has offered a refundable tax credit of up to $8,000 for first-time buyers in 2009. "This will certainly bring in potential first-time buyers who are just now learning the details of the plan," said Mulleady. According to a recent survey of buyers and sellers conducted by the National Association of REALTORS®, first-time buyers comprise about half of the existing home sales nationally "so this tax credit, which is only available for 2009, has the potential to get many of those first-time buyers off the fence in the next three quarters," Mulleady said.

Median prices in Wisconsin fell 9.5 percent to $137,500 in the first quarter of 2009 compared to the first quarter of 2008. "Although some of this decline results from price discounting by sellers in a soft housing market, much of it is due to the shift in the mix of homes selling this year as compared to last year," said William Malkasian, WRA President. "Less expensive homes have been moving much more briskly than top end homes," said Malkasian. "When that happens, the median price will naturally fall as a result, so we don't have an apples-to-apples comparison between this year and last year," he said. Nonetheless, it is clear that this continues to be "a buyers market with healthy inventories and very favorable mortgage rates," according to Malkasian, who also noted that "housing remains an asset that has historically kept pace with inflation and remains a very good way for a young family to build household wealth. This is a great time to buy a home, and working with a RELATOR® with extensive knowledge of local markets is a good way for buyers to find the best value in this market," he said.
