Solar PV Emergency & Resilience Planning Fact Sheet
This latest brief by Meister Consultants Group, Inc. as part of the Solar Outreach Partnership provides a summary of solar PV applications for emergency planning and analysis of the
View DetailsThis brief concludes with examples of solar PV applications in municipal emergency and resilience planning in Boston (Massachusetts) and New York City (New York), followed by an introduction to various Florida Solar Energy Center initiatives (Florida). II. Use and Applications
Emergency preparedness planning should incorporate solar PV into integrated emergency, climate adaptation and resilience strategies for effective implementation. Public-private partnerships can increase rate of solar PV installation.
In cases where an emergency shelter requires a significant up-front investment to be entirely supplied by a solar power system, creating a hybrid system that combines solar with a diesel or propane generator can improve efficiency and provide short-term backup power for critical operations.
