Potential FY15 project
Posted by Morgan White on April 2, 2014
Ben, The first thing that comes to mind for me is: what do we need to do to get some solar installed on campus roofs? I think there is a lot of potential, but also a lot of hurdles. For example, which roofs can support the weight of the modules? Which can be reinforced to support the extra weight? This is a nice mechanical engineering problem. This is probably just the tip of the iceberg. I think there are many hurdles to installing solar on roofs, but I am sure some roofs are going to be able to jump these hurdles with some study. F & S has already had some requests for installing solar on roofs, so they problem already have a list of things they need to understand before they would be comfortable with proceeding with such a project. I intend to spend some time on this issue in the coming months myself, along with my SWATeam. Scott Willenbrock
