Annual updates on the College’s 1 MW solar array from Professor of Physics Daniel Snowden-Ifft for the Â鶹ÊÓƵcommunity and beyond.
Today is the 2nd anniversary of Occidental's 1 MW solar array. In the last year the array produced 1.86 GWh of electrical energy, slightly up (+2.8%) from our total 1.81 GWh last year for a grand total of 3.67 GWh.
Occidental's 1 MW solar array just finished, today, it's first year of operation. Happy 1st Birthday Solar Array!
Oxy's 1 MW solar array began operation this year on March 4th, 2013, about 6 months ago.
We've reached the end of the first, almost full, month of operation of the Â鶹ÊÓƵsolar array so I thought I'd write to update everyone on what is going on up there and provide some context for what it all means.
