Assess the technical and economic feasibility of a proposed rooftop photovoltaic array to address the energy needs of this producer of commercial signage and merchandising systems. Evaluate an existing coating, drying, and curing operation to increase product throughput.

Conduct a feasiblity study to establish the technical and economic viability of a wind system at the Keystone Manufacturing site. This producer of potato flakes and fresh / frozen potatoes uses alternative energy to power manufacturing.

Complete design, construct, and test a prototype of a new kind of point-concentrated solar power dish that will deliver power at a lower cost due its novel design and the materials used in its construction. The dish, called a toroid solar collector, will be fabricated, assembled, and then tested at Northampton Community College’s Bethlehem campus. The dish is capable of providing thermal power for HVAC, power generation, desalination, and process heat applications at a cost comparable to fossil fuel-based sources of energy.
