The solar power facility is projected to cost $2 M. In the map below, potential locations are shown in green. This facility would require less than 1 acre of land. The results from analyzing the data collected indicate that a 200 kW facility would provide enough energy to meet 1% of JSC's energy demand. Lastly, all of this data must be analyzed to decide whether or not JSC should construct the facility. Contacts with JSC's energy provider must also be established to determine if a partnership would be agreeable to both parties. After collecting this information, the following must be determined: the amount of power desired, the size of the facility, potential locations for it, and estimated construction and maintenance costs. Because Kennedy Space Center (KSC) has a solar power generation facility, the first step in this investigation is to learn about KSC's facility and obtain information on how it was constructed. The purpose of this project is to conduct a feasibility investigation for such a facility. In an effort to help meet this goal, Johnson Space Center (JSC) is considering installing a solar power generation facility. Feasibility Investigation for a Solar Power Generation Facility The Energy Policy Act of 2005 states that by fiscal year 2013, at least 7.5% of the energy consumed by the government must be renewable energy.
