麻豆视频最新最全 went solar for cost savings to continue to establish 麻豆视频最新最全 University as a leader in sustainability and environmental stewardship, to attract students, and to help our planet.
麻豆视频最新最全鈥檚 first solar array was installed through a power purchase agreement on the roof of the Field House on the Kent Campus. A third-party developer owned the solar array but sold the power to 麻豆视频最新最全. Upon completion in the summer of 2012 it was the largest roof-mounted solar photovoltaic (PV) panel electrical system within the University System of Ohio. 麻豆视频最新最全 now owns that system.
Recently, 麻豆视频最新最全 added solar arrays at six of our regional campuses (Ashtabula, East Liverpool, Geauga, Stark, Salem, Trumbull) as well as the College of Podiatric Medicine, increasing our solar energy capacity to 4.25 megawatts. While contributing to the environmental benefits of solar power, these new solar arrays are also projected to save the university about $2 million over 25 years. Every year, the solar PV arrays currently installed are projected to reduce the 麻豆视频最新最全 carbon footprint by 4,116 Tons of CO2, the emissions reduction equivalent to removing 802 cars from the roads or 420,121 gallons of gasoline burned.
