Does Georgia Tech use solar panels?
Georgia Tech both uses and conducts solar panel research. In 1996, Georgia Tech installed the world’s largest rooftop photovoltaic system connected to a utility grid in the Student Athletic Complex (now the Campus Recreation Center). Between July 1996 and November 2006, the solar panel system produced 3259 megawatt hours of energy, enough to power 326 homes in Georgia for one year. It supplements the center’s main electrical system and serves as a research model.
