FVSU Extension is leading way in offering clean and renewable energy to middle Georgia residents with new solar operation. The solar farm consists of a model demonstration site dedicated for academic and research use. It will serve as a power source for energy-dependent applications at the FVSU Sustainable Research Site. Fort Valley State University is playing a role in bringing clean and renewable energy to residents of middle Georgia. In collaboration with Georgia Power Company, a solar farm of more than 107 acres was built on FVSU’s campus in 2021. This story is reprinted with permission of Fort Valley State University and first appeared here. The facility, one of the largest solar operations on a college campus in the United States, consists of more than 27,000 solar panels (400 watts each) that includes a connected sub-station built at a cost of more than $9 million. FVSU did not incur any costs in the construction of the facility. In addition to the solar farm, the solar farm consists of a model demonstration site dedicated for academic and research use. It will serve as a power source for energy dependent applications at the FVSU Sustainable Research Site. “This solar project will expand FVSU’s Cooperative Extension Program in Agricultural and Natural Resources (ANR) to include renewable energy,” said Dr. Cedric Ogden, FVSU professor of engineering technology and Cooperative Extension engineer specialist. “It will also provide additional opportunities for FVSU and the Extension program in the areas of sustainability, climate change awareness and alternative energy,” Ogden said. FVSU’s Cooperative Extension Program is supported in part by USDA’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture through capacity funding. More than 10.8 megawatts (10.8MW) of power can be generated by the farm to more than 3,000 homes in the middle Georgia area. FVSU will not receive any of this power. This is done with solar panels and the substation converting sunlight to electrical power through the...
