GROSSMONT, CUYAMACA COLLEGES GO GREEN WITH ENERGY-SAVING SOLAR PANELS

Source: Grossmont-Cuyamaca Community College District
 
March 29, 2024 (El Cajon) – Grossmont and Cuyamaca colleges are going green with the start-up of solar panels on both campuses that are expected to save $43 million over 20 years for the Grossmont-Cuyamaca Community College District.
 
The panels located in parking lots at the two East County colleges include storage systems that allow the district to buy power at lower prices in the early morning, then store the power until it is used later in the day when rates are higher. The district has also installed electric vehicle charging stations for students and employees at the Grossmont and Cuyamaca College campuses.
