UCSD Solar Campus Car Port
This very complex project involved 10 independent sites and interconnections while be managed on an active campus of more than 35,000 students and faculty. The system was financed by a power purchase agreement from Solar Power Partners. The project included the installation of Envision solar trees, UNIRAC racking systems, Kyocera modules, and a combination of SMA and Xantrex inverters to produce more than 29M kWhrs annually.
Have you seen any solar projects on Univeristy campuses?
Photovoltaics and solar power offer the best blend of ease, cost and maintenance compared to wind and just about any other renewable energy such as tidal.
