Solar Salt Lake Project: Making Solar Cost Competitive with Conventional Electric Power

The goal of the Solar America Initiative is to make solar cost competitive with conventional electric power by 2015.  In order to reach that goal, part of the solution is encouraging policymakers to create a sustainable environment for the solar industry.

Critigen is working with Salt Lake City (SLC) and has created a “one-stop-shopping” place for solar. The site will have two purposes: a user-friendly solar information main section; and a solar mapping feature.  The solar information included will clearly describe:

  • the incentives
  • rebate programs
  • solar news
  • list of installers
  • list/map of solar installations in the county/city
  • important questions to ask of an installer if you are a home or business-owner
  • frequently asked questions (and answers)


The web-based solar mapping feature will provide residents and businesses an interactive tool that allows a user to calculate the solar PV production potential for their respective buildings and property while comparing that potential to the possible costs of installation. Come learn more about what is being leveraged to automate the solar map.
