Energy system for the Georgetown University Academic Building. Volume I. Executive summary, final report

Technical Report · Mon Dec 10 04:00:00 EST 1979

OSTI ID:5159879

The energy dilemma facing colleges and universities is addressed. It was determined that a solar photovoltaic facility is technically feasible and immediate initiation of a project to establish a national exemplar for higher education institutions at Georgetown University is recommended. The study demonstrates how long-term low interest financing, currently available, will make photovoltaic electric power competitive with utility-supplied power by 1983 for most colleges and universities and even 1982 for those in high cost areas.
