Site Assessment: Evaluate the physical characteristics of the site, including orientation, shading, and available space for solar panel installation.

Energy Consumption Analysis: Examine historical energy usage data to determine the appropriate size and capacity of the solar PV system.

Financial Incentives: Identify available federal, state, and local incentives, such as tax credits, rebates, and grants that can offset initial costs.

Return on Investment (ROI): Calculate the expected payback period based on installation costs, energy savings, and potential revenue from net metering or power purchase agreements.

Environmental Impact: Assess the potential reduction in carbon emissions and other environmental benefits associated with solar energy generation.

Load Analysis: Analyze both thermal and electrical energy loads of the facility to determine the optimal CHP system size and configuration.

Technology Evaluation: Compare various CHP technologies (e.g., gas turbines, reciprocating engines, microturbines) to identify the best fit for the specific application.

Economic Feasibility: Perform a cost-benefit analysis that includes capital costs, operational costs, maintenance, and potential savings from reduced energy consumption.

Regulatory Considerations: Review local regulations and utility requirements for interconnection and emissions to ensure compliance.

Technology Assessment: Explore different energy storage options, such as lithium-ion batteries, flow batteries, and thermal storage, to determine which technology meets the specific needs.

Sizing and Performance: Calculate the appropriate size of the storage system based on energy consumption patterns, peak demand, and renewable generation profiles.

Integration Analysis: Evaluate how energy storage can be integrated with existing systems, such as solar PV or CHP, to enhance grid stability and energy reliability.

Economic Viability: Analyze potential revenue streams from demand response programs, energy arbitrage, and backup power provisions.

Wind Energy: Assess the feasibility of wind turbine installations by analyzing wind resource data, potential site locations, and regulatory requirements.

Geothermal Systems: Evaluate the viability of geothermal heating and cooling systems based on subsurface geology and thermal energy potential.

Biomass: Investigate biomass resources available for energy production, including agricultural waste, wood, and other organic materials, along with their logistical considerations.

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA): Conduct an LCA for all green alternatives to understand their environmental impact throughout their lifecycle, from resource extraction to end-of-life disposal.
