Benn,
I've had requests like this in the past and have found in EVERY case
the customer has no idea that it will take a
$$$multi-tens-of-thousands to replace the generator power. If you have
the estimating experience, throw out a very large ballpark number to
see if their eyes get wide. You may find that they say, "Really?
...That much?"....And then you're done.

This is probably true, but just in case, doesn't hurt to ask I suppose.
Also, I believe it was Aur Beck at aessolar.com/ had a lot to do
with running
alternative energy for a super bowl half time show concert (or some
big football thang as I remember) a couple of years ago.
He might also have some info, if nothing more than to say to run away
from this.
That other link I sent didn't have anything like 5000 people I have a
feeling.

*Subject:* [RE-wrenches] PV powered music festival
Wrenches,
I have been asked about sizing PV systems for a couple different
music festivals that have been run solely off of generators in the
past. The problem i'm having is determining the energy
consumption of music/stage (amps, speakers, lights, etc...?) loads
as well as concession. The organizers have never considered the
kwh of electricity used and it has never been metered. I believe
the attendance of one festival is expected to be in the range of
5000 and the other closer to 15000 over the course of a weekend.
Do any of you have any experiences in this area? How were the
loads determined?
No doubt that generator back-up will still be needed, to what
extent, will be determined. So what we're looking at would be a
temporary off-grid PV system with generator back-up...
Any suggestions on how to proceed with this one?
