The Snyder Road Solar Farm was completed in September 2014 and is expected to reduce the university’s annual GHG emissions by 650 metric tons per year, which is about 1 percent of Cornell’s total electricity use, the equivalent electricity to power about 320 homes for a year. The project includes ten solar panels and an inverter which will be dedicated to academic research. The panels are installed on a “tilt” racking system which allows for adjustment to facilitate research studies, and they are available for Cornell sponsored research and teaching projects as well as for collaborative projects with local community K-12 schools, colleges and their students. Cornell is partnered with a private developer, Distributed Sun LLC, to implement this project.
