On Dec. 4, Cañada College and the San Mateo County Community College District celebrated the unveiling its new Solar Farm. The $4.5 million installation of the Solar Farm marks the first renewable energy project undertaken by the district and will offset half of Cañada College’s energy consumption. More than 4,000 high efficiency panels will produce more than 1 million watts of clean, renewable energy each year for more than 25 years.
The project, approved by the Board of Trustees in January, includes installation of ground-mounted solar panels on a 3.5-acre site located adjacent to the school’s athletic fields and just above the Farm Hill Boulevard entrance to campus. Cañada College was chosen for the site because it has the greatest exposure to the sun year-round, is adjacent to existing electrical systems infrastructure and is the least visually obtrusive to neighbors.
