Abstract: 
Project attempts to quantify estimates of applicable roof areas available for photovoltaic (PV) panels and possible energy generations from such systems in the City of Arcata. Document includes assumptions used in survey, data gathering techniques and generated estimates. Methods of data collection include use of GIS data layers, and energy generation estimates are developed from existing data and given equations.
Problem Statement: 
Develop estimates for the potential of PV panel systems in terms of applicable roof space and possible respective enery generation for the City of Arcata.
