Solar panels on the roof of the MMA dorms

The Mass Maritime Green Club took a tour today of the solar power system the school has installed. The system cost about $1 million to purchase and install, and will provide a peak of 81kW to the school. It should complement nicely the 660kW wind turbine that the school put up in 2006.

One of the members of the club put some pictures of the solar installation online, which you can check out below.
