The document summarizes a symposium on solar grid parity presented by Richard Perez, Ken Zweibel, and Tom Hoff. It discusses that solar energy has vast resources and a built-in smart grid capability. As solar penetration increases, it can help reduce peak demand and stress on the electric grid. A value-based analysis shows that at high penetrations, the total value of solar to developers, ratepayers, and taxpayers, including benefits like fuel price mitigation, grid security, and societal and economic impacts, can exceed the cost of solar electricity and storage needed to integrate high levels of variable solar power.
