A grant by the Michigan Department of Energy allowed for the installation of a large scale solar photo-voltaic demonstration project to be installed on the roof of the Technical Trades & Manufacturing wing. The solar array, an educational resource to demonstrate the feasibility of solar generated electricity, is utilized in a number of programs including Physics, Architectural Technology, Electronics, Engineering, Residential Construction, Skilled Trades, Refrigeration, and HVAC. The panels produce an estimated 10 kilowatts per hour which reduce campus electrical usage from the power grid by an estimated 13,000 kWh per year.
