P a g e 14 o f 20 <br /> <br />19. How many tons of greenhouse gas emissions will your project reduce/avoid each year? Each year, <br />our proposed project will reduce/avoid an estimated 47 tons of greenhouse gas emissions. Each of <br />the ten houses will reduce carbon emissions by approximately 4.7 tons each year. <br /> <br />20. For how many years will this emissions reduction take place as a result of your project? Please <br />consider the expected lifetime of the technology/program/impact etc. Over the estimated 30-year <br />lifetime of the rooftop solar panels, this project will reduce carbon emissions by a total of <br />approximately 1,140 tons. <br /> <br />21. Please describe the location of the emissions reduction. Where would fossil fuels have been burned <br />if not for your project? For projects creating electricity usage reductions, it can be difficult to <br />determine the location of the power produced. Please feel free to state “Grid-tied electricity <br />reduction.” Our project will reduce emissions through grid-tied electricity reduction. <br /> <br />22. Please describe any other aspect of your project that is relevant to the amount of emissions that it <br />will reduce or avoid. Adding rooftop solar panels to houses encourages orientation of the houses to <br />solar south and increases awareness of the benefits of other passive solar changes in home design. <br /> <br />Efficient use of Funds <br /> <br />23. Please estimate the impact of your project per grant dollar requested. <br />This cost per unit of impact must reflect the total program budget divided by the total impact of <br />the project described in this application. If the proposed project is new, please write N/A in the <br />first column of the table below, and just fill out the second column. <br /> <br /> <br />Actual 2019-20 Project <br />Costs <br />(If your proposed project <br />expands or accelerates an <br />ongoing effort) <br />Projected Project <br />Costs <br />Total Cost of Project n/a <br />The full market cost <br />of rooftop solar <br />panels on ten homes <br />is approximately <br />$165,550. <br />Unit of Impact: <br />Total # of tons of greenhouse <br />gases reduced <br />n/a 1,410 tons for 10 <br />houses over 30 years <br />Cost Per Ton of GHG’s Reduced n/a $117 per ton <br />Unit of Impact: <br />Total # of individuals <br />served/benefitted <br />n/a 10 families <br />Cost Per Individual <br />Served/Benefitted n/a <br />$4,139 per person, <br />assuming four people <br />per household on <br />average <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: 0E2E518B-BEF7-4AF0-8D07-FCD05F094BD6
