Richmond solar panel installation begins this week
After two years of planning, solar panels will be installed onto the roof of the Weinstein Center for Recreation and Wellness. Rob Andrejewski, director of sustainability, said the specific type of solar panels are the first of their kind to be installed in North America.
The solar panels will allow the university to generate more than 226,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity per year, which would potentially offset more than 344,000 pounds of carbon dioxide. The electricity that can be generated from the solar panels is enough to power 21.5 American homes or one residence hall.
