SolarCity Corp (SCTY) the nation’s #1 solar power provider, and Minnetonka-based solar developer Sunrise Energy Ventures have partnered to create a new community solar program offering that allows renters, schools, municipalities and other current Xcel Energy customers to purchase renewable energy without installing solar panels on their properties. Minnesota’s new community solar program is mandated by law and is predictable to be the largest in the nation when accomplished.
According to GTM Research and SEIA’s Q1 2015 U.S. Solar Market Insight Report, only 66MW(DC) of community solar projects are operating in the United States recently. SolarCity’s new community solar program will develop a series of up to one-hundred 1MW(AC) community solar installations, or “gardens,” in Wright and Sherburne counties. SolarCity will then invite renters, low-income housing residents, schools, and others in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area to enter subscriber agreements to purchase the solar power the gardens produce at a rate of 13 cents per kWh. For up to 25 years, Xcel Energy will credit the subscribers at a rate of 14.7 kWh for each kWh of electricity that is purchased from SolarCity through a solar garden subscriber agreement. The anticipated 11.5 percent savings will be immediate for subscribers, who will remain Xcel Energy customers.

PERFORMANCE
The cornerstone of the Mentor EVP, the Questa Simulation engine, now runs up to 4X faster by improvements in both raw VHDL/Verilog performance and incremental flows, coupled with a new checkpoint/restore/modify/run flow which saves hours on each long simulation that can share a common “setup” time before unique stimulus is applied. The Questa Simulation engine has also been improved with new native Questa fast logging technology which enables debug mode simulations to run 2-4X faster and require up to 3X less memory. It deploys “smart” reconstruction techniques when coupled with the Visualizer Debug Environment, which also significantly reduces debug file sizes. The combination of Questa Simulation and Visualizer Debug provides users the fastest debug turnaround times accessible on the market recently.
