A brief description of on-site renewable electricity generating devices :

UMD has two solar photovoltaic installations: one 5.8 array is located on top of Malosky Stadium and a 5.6 kW mounted on the Bagley Outdoor Classroom.

Malosky: In summer of 2008, 28 Sharp Solar Modules rated 208 Watts each, were installed on top Malosky, for a total of 5,800 Watts of electric power capacity. http://www.d.umn.edu/solar/

Bagley: A grid-tied 6kW solar array was mounted on the exterior wall of the Bagley Classroom to help reduce the building's non-renewable energy needs to almost nothing over the course of a year.
