The solar panels will meet up to 7% of the energy needs for ASU's Tempe campus. Two megawatts of electricity can run approximately 4,600 computers. There is no up front cost for this installation that will generate approximately $425,000 worth of energy and reduce ASU's carbon emissions by 2,825 tons per year as compared to traditional energy generation in the state of Arizona. The carbon reduction is equivalent to removing the annual emissions of 523 automobiles.
A study by ASU faculty and students in 2004 identified at least 330,000 square feet of roof space suitable for solar-based electricity generation on the Tempe campus alone. Due to the unprecedented expansion of new construction during the past few years, the roof space available for solar panels is now significantly larger. ASU's solar energy plan now calls for the installation of up to seven megawatts on the Tempe campus with additional installations on ASU's other campuses over the next several years.
