Solar Feasibility Study at Wesley United Methodist Church

Abstract

This project evaluated the feasibility of installing a photovoltaic system on the roof of the Wesley United Methodist Church in Worcester, MA. Analysis of the site, weather data, and economic incentives available to church facilitated the creation of a model that could predict the value of a photovoltaic system as an economic investment. This analysis resulted in a long payback period, but projections using this model indicate significant changes as the price of photovoltaic panels continue to fall
