Project Summary: Date Completed: July 15, 2010 A covered parking structure with preferred parking for low-emitting vehicles seemed a perfect fit for 30-kW of PV solar panels. So perfect, in fact, that 30-kW more were added to double the potential clean energy generation. The completed project received LEED Gold certification from the USGBC, only the seventh Gold certification in the entire state. As of November 1st, the panels produced approximately 232,058 kWh; the equivalent of avoiding 399,139 lbs of CO2.
