Project Overview:
The CPA began deploying solar with SunEdison in 2006, and now hosts 4 MW of clean, renewable solar power at eight locations to meet rising energy costs and a state mandate to implement renewable energy. One host is CSU at Chico, a 346 kW roof mounted system installed in June 2006. The university achieves three goals in hosting a solar system: it saves money on their energy bills, supports their state and campus renewable energy goals, and incurs no upfront capital expenses.

Customer Testimonial:
"SunEdison was selected by the California State University system because there were no up-front costs to the University. The entire solar project, the installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting is covered by SunEdison with no out-of-pocket costs to the University. Basically, we are leasing our roof to SunEdison, they come in and install their panels, and we pay them a fixed rate with an annual escalation for the power generated from the solar panels over the next 20 years."
Mike Bates, Energy & Facilities Trades Manager, CSU, Chico
