Emmett Bus Shelter – Solar Energy Panels
University of Virginia
Charlottesville, Virginia |
Wiley|Wilson engineers supported the University of Virginia with
design of infrastructure for solar energy panels at the Emmett Street Parking Garage Bus Shelter. This photovoltaic project was in conjunction with the
University’s “Ride Forward” program. The project
involved designing panels for an existing roof structure and then
connecting to the campus electrical grid.
Additional “Ride Forward” activities were recently highlighted in
Charlottesville’s local paper in an interesting article
discussing a hands-on engineering course. Engineering students are
converting used gasoline vehicles into electric automobiles. |
