Step 1: System Sizing

System Sizing is the process of sizing an array to match your facility’s electrical and thermal needs. We have created a Site Survey Form which allows you to detail a snapshot of your building’s usage and fundamental infrastructure. Along with the survey, we ask that you provide a year’s worth of electric and gas bills, and email that corresponding data to sales@newloopenergy.com. With these pieces of information, we will be able to develop an array size as well as a preliminary cost analysis based on a facility’s peak and shoulder months of use.

Step 2: Project Economics

The Project Economics are initially derived from our site survey along with a year’s worth of electric and gas bills. With this data, we are able to provide a preliminary cost analysis which qualifies your facility as a viable application, as well as shows you the estimated payback figures and assumptions.

Step 3: Results

Based off the site survey form and a year’s worth of gas and electric bills, you can expect the preliminary analysis results to include: Array Size, Estimated Install Cost (without having seen site first-hand), Savings in Year One, and Payback Period.

Here’s a sample portion of an analysis:

Key Proposal Notes:
Plant size: 130 kW (nominal rating)
Array size: (2) C65 ICHP MicroTurbine
Installed cost: $399,254
Savings year (1): $73,869
Payback: 3.62 years
10 year NPV: $293,793

Financing Options

• Cash Purchases
• “No Cash” Power Purchase Agreements
• Leasing options available
• Financing help available through Small Business Administration
• Federal grant between 10-30% of total project cost
• Many statewide grants available for CHP, Biogas, and Energy Efficiency Projects.  Some as high as 50% of project
