Kansas Solar Electric Co~operatives and The K-SEC Model

Woodson County Commissioners hearing
June 26, 2008 10:00 am
Although the media has discussed the challenges of the 80% coal-fired power in Kansas and the concerns about wind energy in Kansas you have heard very little in the news about the Kansas Solar Electric Co~operatives and The K-SEC Model with plans to install 1,000 MWp Building-Integrated Photovoltaic [BI-PV] Solar in Kansas by 2020. Read more about it and co-host a Solar Energy Fair in your County, today. Find out more by reading K-SEC's Feb 2007 BI-PV NEWSLetter, our two-page business summary, and the PowerPoint presentation we will be giving at Solar Energy Fairs in each county across Kansas.

The K-SEC plan assures venerable individual consumers are not forced to buy a solar system upfront to responsibly enjoy the many benifits of BI-PV demand-site fuel-free non-polluting renewable solar energy technology. K-SEC will lease your rooftop to use it for a solar system for fifty years. The equity exchange for using your roof includes battery back-up for fifty years to assure you have electricity when and if there is a power outage.
Submit qualifying buildings to the Solar Buildings Registry at KS_SEC@yahoo.com and start a local Petition of Support for your County to appropriate $150 co-host fee to defray the costs of a Solar Energy Fair to be held in your county by August 31, 2008. Write to the Kansas Association of County Commissioners and Secretary Bremby to encourage them to appropriate half of the $150 from each county upfront to defray the costs of educating the public about the K-SEC program and solar energy to benefit all Kansans.
Consumer Net Metering is limited to 0.1% in most states. K-SEC's Phase I Demonstration will install 10,000 SF BI-PV in each county of Kansas to assure 0.1% of the electricity consumed in Kansas is generated by solar energy by 2010.
K-SEC's Phase II Foundation will install one million SF BI-PV in each county of Kansas by 2020. This translates to the installation of 2,000 SF BI-PV a week for ten years in each county of Kansas. That is lots of jobs for Kansans while we evolve valuable technological expertise. When the K-SEC Model is well-established, Kansas will be a vital model to help other states develop a practical step-by-step method of renewable energy deployment.
We need leaders from each county to serve as the board of directors for local K-SEC renewable cooperatives incorporated via K.S.A. Chapter 17-4651 to 4681 passed in 2003 by KS Representative Tom Sloan. It requires five board members to incorporate a renewable cooperative with the commitment for each board member to install 100 kWp or 10,000 SF BI-PV within two years.
