Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
In early 2014 the Provost approved a 4MW solar PV installation on campus parking structures and existing buildings. It is expected that this additional solar installation will meet at least 10% of the campus electricity demand. http://www.stanforddaily.com/2014/02/12/solar-panel-installation-approved-by-provost/
