Solar Electric System Enables University Sustanable Energy Program
University of California, San Diego selects Borrego for installaction of a 1.2 megawatt solar electric system, built using Kyocera Solar photovoltaic modules. This solar project will be the centerpiece of the university’s sustainable energy program. The $9 million system is financed through a Power Purchase Agreement with Solar Power Partners. ...
... "When complete, UC San Diego’s system will consist of 5,790 Kyocera KD205 solar modules that will be mounted on the Price Center, the Gilman parking structure and other buildings across the 1,200-acre campus. This system will contribute to the 29 million kilowatt hours per year of green energy that UC San Diego expects its overall efforts to produce, which is enough electricity to power more than 4,500 homes. UC San Diego’s program will offset approximately 10,500 tons of carbon emissions, which is the equivalent of removing 1,500 cars from the road every year.
