POWER GRIDS & TRANSMISSIONSOLAR ENERGY
The O'Donohue Family Stanford Educational Farm has successfully implemented a fully on-site solar energy system, featuring rooftop panels and battery storage, to produce 50 megawatt-hours annually, exceeding its consumption of 30 megawatt-hours. Funded by approximately $2 million from GS Energy Corporation, the project includes a real-time energy data display for educational purposes. Ph.D. student Sergio Sanchez will analyze the system's performance over the next six months, potentially providing models for similar initiatives worldwide.
