-Assess the feasibility of a larger solar array somewhere on campus (7-8 Acres =1 Megawatt)<\/span><\/p>\n

-Implementing Educational Purposes: Dr. Rowley\u2019s GEOG 235 (energy Resources), GEOG 245 (Weather and Climate)<\/span><\/p>\n

Which company should be utilized:\u00a0<\/span>The Solar Network- group that works with Universities to implement solar (midWest Renewable Energy Association) Nonprofit coalition- Alden<\/span><\/p>\n
