Knowles Engineering Building - Photo Voltaic Cells

UMass' first Utility Interactive Photovoltaic System is complete. Situated on the roof of the Knowles Engineering Building, the 7.5 kW array uses all Massachusetts-made products: Schott Solar Modules and the PVII3 Inverter made by Solectria Renewables of Lawrence. Twenty-five 300 watt modules have been placed on the western section of the building's roof.

Mullins Center Parking (Lot 25)

Photo Voltaic Cell Lighting: 23 photovoltaic parking lot lamps were installed in Lot 25 to replace 11 existing 250 watt lights. Installation of these lights removed about 14,000 KWHs from the ISO New England grid, saving the campus about $2,400 in energy costs.
