Making Life Better Together! Sunbug Solar is joining ReVision Energy.

Wellesley College

  • system: SunPower
  • Size: 10 kW
  • Type: Solar Electric

Wellesley College called on Sunbug to install a 10 kilowatt ground-mount photovoltaic array, prominently located at the athletic fields. The system feeds electricity onto the college’s grid for lighting, irrigation and other needs.  Over the next 30 years, the array will offset 264 tons of CO2,  equivalent to eliminating the emissions from 30,000 gallons of gasoline, or the carbon sequestered annually from 56 acres of pine forest.

“As the college’s first renewable energy system, this photovoltaic array serves as a cornerstone for Wellesley College’s commitment to a sustainable future. Since 1875, our landscape has played a central role in the life of the college. To ensure its integrity for tomorrow’s students, we must practice thoughtful environmental stewardship today.”
