Solar @ Oxy Update

So a quick background for those that are new to this project. Occidental has been in the process of planning the development of a solar array on campus. The serious idea of a solar array was first brought up in the spring of 2009. Throughout the summer and fall of '09 a committee of faculty, staff, and students worked on the proposal for a solar array. Since that time there have been multiple discussions/proposals with and to the board of trustees. As of February 2010, the board has fully supported the idea and plans for a solar array. So why don't we have a solar array yet? Well, we haven't been able to come up with all the funding for an array. Multiple plans and strategies have been thought through but we have not been able to find a feasible way to pay for it. The next board meeting is in April and the hope is that we will have come up with a way in which to financially support an array.
Just some logistics of the proposed solar array: it will be located on the southern and western slopes of Mount Fiji along with on top on the parking lot located next to the upper soccer fields, it will generate approximately one megawatt of energy (still making it one of the largest arrays on any college campus in the country).
