Campus updates on Occidental's solar array by Physics Professor Daniel Snowden-Ifft.
Tomorrow is so I thought I would take the opportunity to provide a quick, mid-year update on our solar array.
Today, Occidental's 1 MW solar array is 12 years old. Since "first-light," on March 4th, 2013, the array has produced 20.70 GWh of electrical energy, 11.55% of the college's usage over the same time period.
Today, Occidental's 1 MW solar array is 11 years old. Since "first-light," on March 4th, 2013, the array has produced 19.4 GWh of electrical energy, 11.8% of the college's usage over the same time period.
Today, Occidental's 1 MW solar array is 10 years old. Since "first-light," on March 4th, 2013, the array has produced 17.85 GWh of electrical energy, 12.0% of the college's usage over the same time period.
Today, Occidental's 1 MW solar array is 9 years old. Since "first-light," on March 4th, 2013, the array has produced 16.20 GWh of electrical energy, 12.1% of the college's usage over the same time period.
Today, Occidental's 1 MW solar array is 8 years old. Since "first-light," on March 4th, 2013, the array has produced 14.46 GWh of electrical energy, 12.1% of the college's usage over the same time period.
