- There are three PV systems on the CSL site, two which are mounted on roofs, and one located on the ground.
- Contributes to the net zero energy approach of offsetting 100% of the annual energy consumption of the CSL facility.
- Adjacent facilities building and Special Events Hall roof surfaces provide ideal near-southern orientation for solar PV.
- Building Management System meters and sensors collect and report on renewable energy generation from solar PV.
- The combined annual production of these three arrays in expected to be around 135,000 kWh.
- Excess generated energy serves upper campus electricity needs.
- The original design output of PV array was 125 kW. Recently, they have been installing PV panels above the parking lots and on the roofs of adjacent buildings, aiming to increase output to 200 kW.
