Solar rooftop system to be installed at Delaware County

A solar rooftop system will be installed on top of the Main Building of Penn State Delaware County, compliments of Clean Air Council and Conectiv Energy. This is the first program of its kind in Pennsylvania and it gives Penn State Delaware County, along with more than 20 other schools, the opportunity to benefit from solar power without having to purchase a system on limited school budgets.

The solar rooftop system comes with curriculum support, drawing on national programs. The system also will be monitored through the Internet so students can see and study the relationships among the sun, the environment and energy. The system and its operation can be incorporated into sciences and/or engineering courses at the campus.
