Project provides energy, learning opportunities for college and students
SANFORD, Fla. – Seminole State College of Florida is getting a power boost and installing a new solar array on its Robert & Jane Lee Campus in Oviedo, Fla.
The new solar array was made possible through a $94,000 grant from Duke Energy.
“This facility will provide Seminole State College of Florida firsthand experience in solar systems,” said Melissa Seixas, Duke Energy Florida state president. “It’s an opportunity to provide faculty and students a real-world learning environment, while we develop alternative energy solutions for Duke Energy Florida customers.”
The system is being constructed by Ocala-based company Solar Trek and is a combination of roof and ground mounted panels that measures approximately 2,075 square feet, including 96 individual panels.
