A brief description of on-site renewable electricity generating devices :
We have a 2.27MW Solar Array on campus that the college retains and/or trades equivalent renewable RECs; and the array is connected to the campus electric grid. This array began generating in 2012. The 2.27 MW solar array was installed on about 10 acres of Oberlin College property. This was a collaboration with the municipal utility provider for power.
In 2014, we added a 10KWh PV soar array on the top of a Kahn Hall residence hall.
Additionally, the Adam Joseph Lewis Center and its associated parking pavilion combine to form 160 KWh solar PV array. The Athletic and Physical Education Department installed a 175 W solar panel on the Savage Stadium scoreboard.
