-
The university will be able to generate electricity while reducing its production of greenhouse gases
-
The solar carports will provide shade and comfort to the students and faculty
-
Parking spots will now cover cars from heat while generating electricity
-
Large scale transmission lines will not need to be built since electricity will be transported much shorter distances, further decreasing infrastructure costs
-
This will further decrease the United States’ carbon footprint
-
Increased demand for solar will generate more jobs in the solar industry
-
Infrastructure cost
-
Converting parking lots into energy sources would help to reduce the global emissions of greenhouses gases into the atmosphere
-
The solar carport will produce 7 million KWh of electricity in a year, which reduces CO2 emissions by 5,599 Tons per year.
-
The carports will provide clean energy that will power parking lot C, East garage and university offices
-
Implementation of the solar carport will reduce the amount of coal used in coal-fired electric plants
-
This reduction in coal usage reduces environmental impact associated with coal fired electric plants
-
This enables future generations to meet their needs with in a better environment
