Energizing Our Future with the Power of the Sun<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBe What the World Needs\u201d is the University of Saskatchewan\u2019s slogan, in order to reflect this statement we must do more as part of the University to hold high standards and set an example for other universities to follow. Currently, the world needs to reduce their carbon footprint and implementing renewable energies can help us achieve that. With a campus of 20,000 students located in the centre of Saskatoon, many people use the University\u2019s facilities, consuming large amounts of energy from traditional non-renewable energy sources. By implementing solar panels on campus, we will reduce the amount of non-renewable energy consumed on campus, and the overall emissions. To offset the amount of power consumed on campus, our group is trying to install a large-scale solar farm on campus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our focus is to implement solar panels on the roof of the Merlis Belsher Arena. The arena is a new structure on campus, not only used by the students but the community. The building is structurally fit to hold solar panels, and with a large energy bill they would also like to reduce the amount of non-renewable energy they consume. As a group we have met with management at Merlis Belsher, and they are on board with the project. We have created a cost estimate of a solar installation, which includes the cost of engineering plans, solar panels, electrical plans and tie-in-costs. Our group is currently looking for potential donors and funding for the project, we hope to work closely with the USSU to implement this project and are looking for other partners for additional support. <\/p>\n ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
