Solar Panel Site Suitability Study Greg Holland, Matt Lenox, and Tracy Ricker

Project Goals: Determine a suitable study area by availability of LiDAR. Use a LiDAR generated DEM for Solar Analysis. Use the Oregon Department of Transportation's (ODOT) Solar Project methodologies as a guide to develop a model for use in our study area. Use the model to determine areas with high solar potential using the Area Solar Radiation Tool in ArcGIS.

energy-environment/solar-energy/index.html China is currently seen as a leader in the development and use of solar energy. The Chinese government heavily subsidizes green energy.

United States Department of Energy Grant tbn3.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTqIVeHIVUx1ULpy4VsrGT6ZvBV_r3oSn5SsV_a0o Op9UzCtReu Rooftop Solar Challenge o $12 Million

ODOT Study In 2008, Oregon built the first solar highway project in the US. o Generates 130,000 kWh/year. ODOT's long term goal is to build enough renewable energy capacity to make all 47 M kwh required annually o signals, illumination, buildings, ramp metering. Slide from ODOT presentation

ODOT Study: Criteria Used from ODOT study: o Southern orientation o Slope of less than 15% o Identify which sites are in flood plains or that have known wetlands or protected stream corridors

ODOT Processes ODOT didn't use ESRI's Solar Radiation tool. ODOT used National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) tools. o Make Solar Array
