Wrenches,<div>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.</div><div><br></div><div>Do any of you have any experiences in this area? How were the loads determined?</div><div><br></div><div>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...</div><div><br></div><div>Any suggestions on how to proceed with this one?</div><div><br></div><div>benn<br><br><span class="ecxecxecxecxEC_Apple-style-span" style="color:rgb(0, 32, 96)"><font class="ecxApple-style-span" face="'Franklin Gothic Medium'">DayStar Renewable Energy Inc. </font></span><div><div><font class="ecxApple-style-span" face="'Franklin Gothic Medium'">benn@daystarsolar.ca</font></div><div><font class="ecxApple-style-span" face="'Franklin Gothic Medium'">780-906-7807 </font></div><div><font class="ecxApple-style-span" face="'Franklin Gothic Medium'">HAVE A SUNNY DAY
