Goergen Athletic Center hosts solar panels and grid-scale storage that produce clean, renewable energy and will make the upcoming Hutchison Hall Annex nearly net-zero for energy.

Funded primarily by an Energy to Lead grant from the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority, the array demonstrates solar + storage in Upstate New York, provides key data for grid researchers, and gives University of Rochester opportunities for important outreach about low-carbon energy.
Thank you to the University Facilities and Services team and the University of Rochester administration for helping make this project a reality.
