Abstract
Climate change is an omnipresent problem that grows worse every day. There are many things that contribute to climate change, such as cutting down trees, using fossil fuels, and carbon emissions, all of which occur daily. As more people realize the effects of businesses on the environment, it is important that companies switch to green energy in a cost effective way. For our LEAD project, we aim to provide that service by paying companies to install solar panels on their warehouse roofs. This will create mass amounts of solar energy to sell back to the energy grid, generate money for businesses, and help lower reliance on power plants that burn fossil fuels. While new warehouses often have solar panels already installed, our hope is to target the many businesses that have large, empty roof spaces without solar panels.
