A brief description of the on-site renewable electricity generating facilities/devices:
In July 2011, Cal State LA activated a photovoltaic system of 77 solar panels on the E&T building. The solar PV system is composed of two types of modules: a large, 56-Sharp-panel and a smaller 21-Solec-panel subsystem previously used at Huntington Library. The system generates about 40 kWh daily during the summer.
In 2018, the underperforming 21-Solec-panel subsystem were replaced with an array of 14 high-performance LG panels each capable of producing 320 W in full sun. They new system is showing a 150% performance improvement, and generates a total of 150 MWh/year.

Parking Structure E, built in 2019, includes 1 MW solar photovoltaic (PV) installation with 11 solar arrays and 2,800 modules/panels on its upper level. Under optimal conditions, the installation produces 4MWh per day. However, the RECs belong to LADWP under the Solar Incentive Program (SIP) signed by the University.
