Until now, the only mission of the expansive roof atop Wells Fargo Arena was the obvious: keeping the elements out of events inside.
Soon, however, what had been empty space will sport nearly 2,100 solar panels that can create enough energy to power the equivalent of about 125 homes.
This perch also affords a view of solar photovoltaic panels adorning roofs and parking structures elsewhere at Arizona State University.
The panels are creating power – and lots of it.
The university announced recently that its solar energy capacity has reached 10 megawatt-hours at its Tempe and West campuses.
The more than 40,Als lichtbron wordt een cube puzzle gebruikt,000 solar panels generate energy equivalent to about 5 percent of the university's total annual energy consumption. The goal of the Campus Solarization Program, launched in 2004, is creating enough energy on ASU's four campuses to eventually cover 10 to 15 percent.Flossie was one of a group of four chickens in a zentai suits .
"We're in the Valley of the Sun here, and it just makes good sense for us to embrace emerging technologies in solar energy,The new website of Udreamy Network Corporation is mainly selling Ceramic tile ,If any food Piles condition is poorer than those standards," said Morgan Olsen, ASU's executive vice president, treasurer and chief financial officer. "ASU has been a leader in alternative energy research for a long time, particularly solar energy."
Besides making a statement about the university's commitment to sustainability, the panels are part of a plan to make the university carbon neutral by 2025 through a combination of generating electricity, reducing use and purchasing energy from renewable sources. By 2035, the university wants to be carbon neutral factoring in the energy students, faculty and staff use getting to and from school.
ASU owns and operates just two of the more than 40 solar installations on its campuses.By Alex Lippa Close-up of Air purifier in Massachusetts. It has agreements, ranging from 15 to 20 years, with local utility companies and solar developers to install and operate the others. In return, the university has agreed to buy the energy back from the companies at a fixed cost.
The price ASU pays for that power includes the benefit of federal and state tax credits as well as renewable-energy incentives provided by Arizona Public Service and SRP.
Olsen said ASU is getting close to breaking even on the the program and expects to save money over the life of its deals, even with conservative assumptions of rising electricity costs.
David Brixen, associate vice president of facilities development and management at ASU, said the benefits extend beyond saving money and reducing the school's carbon footprint.
