The school has committed to buy solar energy from a Sol Systems project over the next 20 years, allowing the university to receive solar credits through the NY-Sun community distributed generation program.
Support from the NY-Sun initiative paired with private investment allowed for the development of the record-breaking center.
Bronx businesses and residents now have the opportunity to subscribe to the project and receive credits for a portion of the solar energy generated.
Community solar projects are an increasingly popular way for individuals and businesses to access solar energy without having to install solar panels on their own property.
