Solar Backup Power Generation

The goal of the project is to design a solar PV array to provide back up power for school

=Problem Definition= 1) Investigate the three locations and select one to be designed; 2) Design the selected PV array including a solar site assessment, module selection, inverters, support structure, relays, meters, etc.; 3) Conduct an economic analysis of the system

Background
The university operates multiple wells to support the domestic water needs of campus. Backup power generation is needed for two wells in case a disaster occurs and the power grid goes down. Traditionally, diesel generators would be used, but University is seeking a solar PV alternative that can be tied into the campus microgrid.
