FGCU Solar Panels

FGCU wants to build a sustainable environment, by building 2 million watts of solar panels. This would provide 2 megawatts a day, saving 22 million dollars over a 30 year span. These panels would be tracking sun from east to west and provide 27 percent more energy than your typical solar system. FGCU is also considering building solar panels on top of the parking garage and above Alico Arena. FGCU wouldn't be the first university to building a solar system, the University of Arizona also has a 2 million watt system.
