When the solar array construction was completed by Third Sun Solar in July 2012, the nearly half megawatt (463 kW) system was the largest NE Ohio solar panel system within the 13 Public University System in Ohio, and believed to be the largest rooftop installation of any Ohio university. The 463 kW system made up of 1,716 multi-crystalline silicon panels, occupies almost an acre of the south facing roof. Through July 2019, the system has generated 3,611,698 kWh of clean energy. Enough to power 445 homes for a year and reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 2,815 tons! Annual production has been reliable and consistent at about 500,000 kWh which offsets the greenhouse gas emissions of about 75 passenger cars every year.
