Solar Panels

About one month ago the University at Buffalo chose Walter Hood to design a 1.1-megawatt solar array that will be located at the entrance of North Campus on Flint Road. The 5,000 photovoltaic panels will produce energy for 735 student apartments on campus. This may seem insignificant when you realize that there are over 7000 students living on campus, but it is important to start somewhere.

The design concept for the photovoltaic panels is a “Solar Strand.” Public paths will be intertwined with the panels to provide an educational and social experience within the solar array. To find out more visit The UB News Center.
