UW-Platteville Recognized For Its Solar Array Project

UW-Platteville was recognized at RENEW Wisconsin’s 12th annual Renewable Energy Summit held in Madison, where the university’s solar array project was selected for the organization’s Clean Energy Honor Roll. UW-Platteville received state approval for the 2.4-megawatt solar array in February 2021 and construction began shortly after. The solar array became active last August. The array spans five acres in the university’s Memorial Park and includes 5,516 panels. The entire array is designed to produce over 3 million kilowatts of electricity a year, given an average number of sunny days.
