A brief description of on-site renewable electricity generating devices :
On-site renewable electricity is generated from solar panels and fed into the campus grid. Solar panels are placed at different locations on campus, such as on the roof of the engineering building, and ITT parking lot. Dr. Jaime Ramos monitors the energy generated by the solar panels. The engineering department plans on bringing a new array of solar panels to campus in the near future, further allowing students and faculty to use their micro-grid research for practical uses and allowing consumers additional energy sources.
