The technical assistance application requested that the Cadmus team review Technical Assistance solar PV, solar thermal, energy storage, and islanding mechanisms. Beverly Application Review Cache had no existing clean energy generation on site. The Beverly site comprises a series of buildings; some are modular Confirmation of Sites and structures. We held a phone call with MAPC and the Beverly Cache site staff to Technologies for Technical determine which buildings were appropriate for solar PV. We also discovered Assistance during the call that no thermal load existed on the site and that wetlands were present in the area surrounding the buildings. Our request for information included questions to determine the site’s electric feed capabilities and general energy usage. We also asked if MAPC and the Request for Information Beverly Cache site staff would be interested in ground-mounted or parking canopy solar at the site. We held a follow-up call with MAPC and Beverly Cache site staff to discuss the proposed approach. All parties agreed to pursue ground-mounted and parking Conference Call with canopy solar PV in non-wetland areas of the site. Additionally, MAPC and Beverly Awardee Cache site staff requested that we evaluate autonomous power for a 7-day, rather than 3-day, outage. We conducted a desktop PV analysis to determine conservative solar PV potential based on available space. Using these estimates, we applied HOMER Modeling and Project Plan modeling to determine the appropriate battery storage sizing for a 7-day power outage. We prepared the project plan and sent it to MAPC and the Beverly Cache site staff. We held a brief follow-up call with MAPC to review the contents of the report. Follow-Up on Project Plan
