Architecture Building Roof - Photovoltaic System
In 2002, Xcel Energy provided the University with a 15-kilowatt photovoltaic solar collector system which is installed on the roof of the Ralph Rapson Hall for the College of Architecture and Landscape Architecture. The demonstration project will include 72 panels that will provide electric power for the building. A kiosk in the building will display the energy from the collectors as it is generated. This project uses the sun to generate electrical energy with no pollution. The project also recycled 10-year-old panels in perfect working order that were no longer needed by the Science Museum of Minnesota.
