Description of the on-site renewable systems:
-
Rose Hill Parking Garage Community Solar Project – this 960 kW roof mounted system is the one of the largest Community Solar projects to be hosted by any educational entity in NYC. System was placed in service in September 2019, and generates nearly 1,000,000 kWh per year.
-
Campbell Hall Solar Project – this 7.7 kW roof mounted system was installed on the roof of Campbell Hall in 2019.
-
Walsh Library – the 250 kWh roof mounted solar system was installed in 2012 on the roof of Walsh Library.
