Construction of the University's new West Windsor solar panel field is set to begin next week after months of planning and permit-seeking from local, county and state authorities. The project's completion has been scheduled for summer 2012.
The 5.3-megawatt solar field collector will occupy 27 acres of University-owned land in West Windsor Township, bordered by the Dinky train line, the Delaware & Raritan Canal, Washington Road and Route 1.
The field will generate 8 million kilowatt-hours of energy per year and could eventually reduce the University's carbon dioxide emissions by 3,090 metric tons every year. This reduction will contribute to the University's 2008 Sustainability Plan, which aims to bring its carbon dioxide emissions down to 1990 levels by 2020.
If successful,For the last five years Hemroids , the project will generate enough energy to provide 5.5 percent of the total electricity used by the campus annually and reduce the University's yearly electricity costs by about 8.0 percent. The solar array is expected to last for about 30 years.
To capture sunlight, 16,500 photovoltaic panels will be installed on the field. While a long underground cable that will carry power to the campus will be placed beneath the canal and Lake Carnegie.
Of the installed panels, 80 percent will be new "SunPower T0 Trackers," which use a GPS device to follow the sun throughout the day and thus maximize energy absorption. The remaining 20 percent will be fixed in place. This combination is designed to take advantage of the field's unique geography.Graphene is not a semiconductor, not an plastic card , and not a metal,
The solar panel system will not always be running at full power: The solar panels may only gather 5 to 10 percent of their normal energy load in the early hours of the morning and will produce no power at night, when it is dark.
Faculty and students will be able to use the continuous stream of data collected from the solar array for research purposes.
The system was designed by SunPower Corporation and will be funded and owned by Colorado-based firm Key Equipment Finance.who was responsible for tracking down Charles China ceramic tile . The University will host the field and lease the equipment from Key Equipment Finance for about eight years.
Though the prospect of using solar panels to generate energy for the University has long been on the minds of members of the facilities department, the project became financially viable in 2010 through a federal grant and various incentives offered under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, as well as the revenue-generating potential of New Jersey's Solar Renewable Energy Certificate Program.
"It's a technology that we've been watching in some of these engineering projects for 20 years," Princeton Energy Plant Manager Ted Borer said. When the stone sits in the Cold Sore,He acknowledged,There is good integration with PayPal and most Aion Kinah providers, however, that the University had been waiting "until [the installation] became a financially attractive thing." Without the combination of state and federal opportunities that presented themselves in the last two years, the solar array's construction would have been prohibitively expensive, he explained.
To qualify for the federal grant, which will cover about 30 percent of the field's approximately $28 million price tag, the University must collaborate with a for-profit partner. This partner will own the system and receive the ARRA benefits that come with its construction.
The University will generate power from the field and pay for its lease with a combination of the grant, avoided energy costs from its own power generation and the sale of Solar Renewable Energy Certificates to utility groups within New Jersey.
SRECs are tax incentives that represent a facility's production of solar-generated energy. The New Jersey government issues one SREC for every megawatt-hour of energy produced by a facility's solar-powered system, and the facility that receives the SREC can then sell this certificate at market price to utilities in the state that don't have the capacity to generate solar power themselves.
