System Design and Integration in Residential Student Housing

The project targets the design and implementation of a residential solar system on the roof-top of a student residence near the UBC Okanagan campus to determine actual performance and cost data for the region of Kelowna and its unique environmental conditions. Theoretical modelling will be conducted to maximize both the profitability and energy output of the PV system per unit area. The research collaboration between VEDA and UBC will provide an excellent platform to validate the technical and economic viability of solar systems in the Okanagan, inspire and train students in green technologies, and promote clean and renewable energy for the region.
