Document Description
As part of the campus' efforts to reduce energy consumption, six sites for installation of photovoltaic systems have been identified at University-owned locations off site fromt he main campus. Electric power for these facilities currently is provided by San Diego Gas and Electric (SDG&E). With installation ofthe proposed photovoltaic systems, the campus expects to reduce its energy costs by approximately $330,000 over a twenty-year period. All the power generated by the system would be used by UC San Diego facilities and programs. Installation would occur on the rooftops of existing structures at five sites. A sixth location would support a ground mounted solar array on a two acre parcel. Panels with low reflectivity would be installed. All utilities are available at the site to support the projects.
