WA Goes Solar

Last May (2010) 439, 210-Watt, silicon-based photovoltaic panels were installed on WA campus with a total rated power capacity of 92.19 kW (DC). A 59.85 kW array sits atop Daniels Gym and a combined 32.34 kW atop Heydon and Stoddard Dorms. The estimated annual total energy production of the system is 100,948 kWh in the first year, which is approximately 6 % of campus demand.
