The new project, to be located on three buildings at UQ’s St Lucia campus, will feature a 1.2MW solar photovoltaic installation capable of producing 1750MWh of electricity a year. This will save approximately 1750 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions annually.
Paul Greenfield, vice-chancellor of UQ, said: “UQ will show leadership as a generator and user of solar energy and also as a provider of internationally-recognized teaching, research and development regarding solar technologies.
“It will also be a resource for students and staff, who will use the array to help develop next-generation solar technologies.”
