Texas A&M Corpus Christi

The Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Project at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, Science and Technology Building, is an excellent example of how an institution can use a renewable energy system to reduce operating costs and also create an educational curriculum around the project. This 25.06kW installation utilizes three different types of solar modules (92 Trina 250W, 4 PHONO 260W, & 4 SolarWorld 260W) as well as the most cutting edge inverter technology to allow students and researchers to gather important data on how solar performs. With this design, the students can manipulate the environmental conditions of the installation and have the detailed data reporting that will allow them to draw important conclusions relating to their field of study.

The Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi has been producing over 32kWh every year since it’s installation in 2013.
