This is probably true, but just in case, doesn't hurt to ask I
suppose.<br>
<br>
Also, I believe it was Aur Beck at aessolar.com/ had a lot to
do with running<br>
alternative energy for a super bowl half time show concert (or some<br>
big football thang as I remember) a couple of years ago.<br>
<br>
He might also have some info, if nothing more than to say to run
away<br>
from this.<br>
<br>
That other link I sent didn't have anything like 5000 people I have
a feeling.<br>

powered music festival</div>
<div><br>
</div>
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>
