Renewable Energy<br />
<strong>East</strong> <strong>Los</strong> <strong>Angeles</strong> <strong>College</strong> is capitalizing<br />
on our location in sunny California: We<br />
have committed to photovoltaic power<br />
for onsite energy generation.<br />
We constructed a 1 megawatt solar photovoltaic<br />
system in the northwest campus<br />
parking lot in 2008. The system is a carport<br />
farm that consists of seven steel structures.<br />
The array has 5,952 PV panels, which each<br />
produce about 200 watts of electricity. We<br />
aim to acquire 40% of our electrical energy<br />
from clean renewable sources.<br />
