After three years of planning, the University at Buffalo unveiled a 6,300 square foot array of solar paneling on the rooftop of Norton Hall this Thursday.The photovoltaic (PV) panels, installed in October by the Chevron Energy Solutions Company, will be capable of producing 73.5 kilowatts - enough energy to power 735 100-watt light bulbs, or roughly the annual equivalent of 10 National Grid customers in Western New York.These PV panels are a new and permanent installation into UB's efforts of creating clean and renewable energy resources that cumulatively help to save money and the environment."Taken in the context of a very long term conservation program - going steady for 30 years - the savings are estimated at $10 million a year," said Mike Dupre, associate vice president of facilities.
