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 />
