PV project for Reuben H. Fleet Science Center completed
The Reuben H. Fleet Science Center and San Diego Gas and Electric (SDG&E) today unveiled the installation of more than 10,000 square feet of solar panels on the roof of the Science Center, generating clean electricity for San Diegans and serving as the centerpiece for an upcoming interactive exhibition on alternative energy.

The result of a partnership between the Fleet Science Center, SDG&E and the City of San Diego, the new solar photovoltaic (PV) system generates more than 100 kilowatts (kW) of electricity at peak production – enough to light 1,700 60-watt bulbs or power about 65 homes. Owned and operated by SDG&E, the new solar panels feed electricity directly into the region’s power grid. This contribution of clean solar energy will prevent the release of approximately 60 tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere each year. Scientists are now convinced that carbon dioxide is one of the primary agents contributing to global warming.
Independent Energy Solutions designed and built the system using 684 modules manufactured by Kyocera Solar, Inc.
