Cornell Tech, an engineering school of Cornell University, has opened up a New York City campus powered in part by Solaria solar panels.
According to Solaria, the new campus leverages a number of green building strategies to maximize energy efficiency. Solaria provided 2,300 PowerXT rooftop modules and customized PowerView “architectural solar glass” for two buildings on the Cornell Tech campus – The Emma and Georgina Bloomberg Center and The Bridge – which, combined, use 47,000 square feet of Solaria PV panels, the equivalent of a 900 kW system. According to Solaria, its commercial building-integrated PV incorporates solar technology into the building structure itself in order to generate energy.
