The amount of solar power generated in Vermont continues to grow at a rapid pace. Marlboro College has a modest solar array to power a ventilation system in the greenhouse. Power from the sun – how does that work? We will explore the composition and function of solar panels – photovoltaic cells - but our central question is, can we build a larger solar array at Marlboro? We will explore this topic with the goal of creating a proposal for an expanded photovoltaic (PV) system at Marlboro College. A good place to start is an evaluation of the greenhouse solar array, followed by discussion of increasing solar power production at Marlboro, including possible sites, technical challenges, and financing models.
