Outline  Types of Solar Energy  Possible Uses for UTPB  Government Programs  Possible Companies  Initial Cost and Possible Locations  Maintenance Costs  Breakeven Timeline  Conclusion

Types of Solar Energy  Photovoltaics  Solar Heating  Solar Lighting

Possible Uses for UTPB  Heating Water  Off setting electricity costs Generating electricity

Government Programs  Green Credits  Incentives to use renewable energy sources

Possible Companies  Companies Able to install Reliable Quality products

Initial Cost and Possible Locations  Determine array or collector size  Roofs of buildings  Unused university land

Maintenance Costs  Once installed daily up keep  Repairs  Replacing Equipment  Warranties

Breakeven Timeline  Amount of years before the solar energy source makes up is costs

Conclusion  Best solution for UTPB  Is this solution feasible?
