Eco Factor: Solar panel array to generate 2MW of renewable electric power.
Florida Gulf Coast University has launched the US’s largest university-sited solar panel array that is capable of generating up to 2MW of green electric power. The installation features over 10,000 solar panels installed on a 16-acre site.
Providing electricity to over 200,000 square feet of space, the installation is expected to cost about $3 million, but it does make the university eligible for two federal incentives. The installation is also expected to save up to $800,000 annually in energy costs.
