Goal: New York State has identified solar photovoltaic energy as a critical renewable resource, and Cornell will seek to increase the solar photovoltaic electricity supply for campus. Opportunities for deploying this technology using State tax incentives and subsidy programs are expected to continue – making solar projects an economically viable option for the University. Cornell’s first solar PV project, the Snyder Road Solar Farm, consisting of a 2MW array on eleven acres of Cornell property in the Town of Lansing, is slated for completion in 2014 and is expected to reduce the university’s annual GHG emissions by 625 metric tons per year. Additional GHG reductions can be achieved as new projects are identified and completed.
