SolarCity has partnered with Campus Crest Communities, a student housing developer, to install more than 9,000 solar panels on student housing communities in the US.
The student housing in Greeley, Colorado; Flagstaff, Arizona; and Las Cruces, New Mexico, will provide more than 2.3 million kilowatt-hours of renewable power annually, offset electricity consumption by approximately 50 percent and eliminate more than 80 million pounds of annual carbon dioxide emissions.
To help drive this initiative, Campus Crest partnered with The Institute for the Built Environment (IBE) at Colorado State University, a multidisciplinary institute whose mission is to foster stewardship and sustainability of natural and built environments, and the Center for Living Environments and Regeneration (CLEAR), a 501c(3) non-profit organization focused on global regeneration.
