Park Solar Array

When Park residence hall was renovated in 1999, a 10 kW array of solar panels was installed on the roof. The electricity generated by these solar panels is used to offset the power required by a boiler plant that was installed the same year.

Savings from the combined reduction of having a new smaller, more efficient boiler plant and from the solar array amounts to 90,769 kWh per year. The amount saved is approximately what one residence hall would use in an academic year.
