Soak Up the Sun

Seven acres of newly installed solar panels at WSU Davis will generate 100 percent of electrical power needs at the campus.

The solar array is expected to offset more than 85 million pounds of carbon emissions throughout its lifetime and will provide predictable and stable power for at least the next 20 years. 

“The Davis solar project, which will provide virtually all of the electricity needed for the Davis campus, is a major milestone in WSU’s journey to become carbon neutral by 2050,” said Jennifer Bodine, sustainability coordinator for WSU’s Energy & Sustainability Office.

The project is one of the largest solar installations at a Utah public institution.
