Solar Array


Today our class learned all about what the University of Toledo is doing with renewable energies.  One stop was the giant solar array at the Scott Park campus.  Until a couple of weeks ago, this was the largest solar array in Ohio - I am not sure where the newer, bigger one is.  Unfortunately, we weren't allowed inside the fence, so I had to shoot from the side through a chain link fence.   In this shot you can see part of four of the rows of solar panels - they seemed to go on forever!  Today was unbearably hot again - the irony is that even though there was a ton of sunlight today, the solar array did not quite make enough electricity for the Scott Park campus (although many days it does) because of the amount of air conditioning required today!
