Wrenches,I have been asked about sizing PV systems for a couple different music festivals that have been run solely off of generators in the past.  The problem i'm having is determining the energy consumption of music/stage (amps, speakers, lights, etc...?) loads as well as concession.  The organizers have never considered the kwh of electricity used and it has never been metered.  I believe the attendance of one festival is expected to be in the range of 5000 and the other closer to 15000 over the course of a weekend.
Do any of you have any experiences in this area?  How were the loads determined?
No doubt that generator back-up will still be needed, to what extent, will be determined.  So what we're looking at would be a temporary off-grid PV system with generator back-up...
Any suggestions on how to proceed with this one?
