ASU West installing 17,000 solar panels on campus

10,000 panels to provide energy, shade cars

Students and instructors who pull into the south parking lots of Arizona State University's West campus will find relief from the heat under a project designed to eliminate the university's carbon footprint.

Looming over the parking spaces are massive shade structures made up of hundreds of photovoltaic solar panels. Tilted to the south to catch rays the entire sun-drenched day, the panels are part of a wider solar project that could feed at least half of the campus' energy needs."
