Solar Panels In The Student Union

by Noel on October 30th, 2008

Teach them and they will learn. Show them and they will understand.

That is the way things are going for most institutions. And in schools, they are already using solar power to be able to show to the students just how friendly this kind of technology is.

One of the newest schools to use solar power is the University of Nevada. They had already put in solar panels and these would be lighting up the Joe Crowley Student Union. Officials say that the solar project would be able to create 28 kW for power. In a year, that would be around $5000 savings in electricity. A huge amount, I know.

Thanks to the Black Rock Solar, the solar project became reality. The university did not have that much funds to put in their own solar panels. But with Black Rock Solar entering the scene, the student union now gets to benefit from the free power from the sun.
