Mage Solar today announced that Western Michigan University is utilizing maximum efficiency Mage Solar modules for a 50 kW solar photovoltaic project on its Kalamazoo campus.
Two hundred sixteen Mage Solar maximum-efficiency US-modules are mounted onto 18 individual customized poles in a parking lot across from the university’s James W. Miller Auditorium. Each of the arrays can be adjusted individually within a range from vertical to 80 degrees. Students can therefore test how the tilt of the array impacts energy yield of the modules.
The system was designed, furnished and installed by The Green Panel, a Michigan-based turnkey integrator that provides renewable energy solutions for Fortune 500 companies, universities and municipalities. The company’s team also customized inverter and charging station monitoring systems that will give real-time access to the system’s performance data.
The project was funded by a grant from the US Department of Energy and administered by the Clean Energy Coalition of Ann Arbor, Michigan (US).
