A brief description of the on-site renewable electricity generating facilities/devices:
Princeton owns a 4.5 megawatt AC solar photovoltaic system. The system is comprised of 16,528 panels and nine 500kW inverters. Although the system provides approximately 5.5% of the annual electricity to campus, Princeton is selling all SRECs associated with our solar photovoltaic system until at least 2020.
Additionally, Princeton owns a system of solar panels that sit on top of Frick Chemistry Laboratory. The system's designed capacity is between 70-75 kilowatts, and the system produces on average the equivalent of 2% of the building's power demand and represents less than 1% of total campus energy use. However, the building’s energy demand would likely be higher without the shade provided by the rooftop array during the summer months.
