Is there a wind resource? Does the wind or solar resource seasonality correspond to the conference center use? Perhaps a hybrid system would be prudent?
I wouldn't want to pay for that battery bank....

Small conference center, some lodging, commercial kitchen, 30+% full [loaded up] occupancy, small staff and maintenance crew for [70%] balance of the time. The full loads will probably be met with [1 or 2] LP gas generators. The utility line quote is $1+ million away. We are looking at all options- High volt runs to AC coupled and Outback 3648, 6 packs. High volt to FM 80's and Outback 3648 , 6 packs. Sunny boy Islands 5048's. We want some redundancy but are looking for a good blend of large, reliable, and redundant. I welcome your opinions.
