Â鶹¹û¶³´«Ã½ isn’t known as a renewable energy state. Â鶹¹û¶³´«Ã½ Lafayette wants to change that.
Â鶹¹û¶³´«Ã½ Lafayette is the only university in Â鶹¹û¶³´«Ã½, and one of a handful nationwide, that can examine solar technology outside and in a controlled, laboratory space.
Its new Photovoltaic Applied Research and Testing Laboratory has two sites: a 6-acre array of 4,200 solar panels in University Research Park, and lab space within campus’ Rougeau Hall that’s filled with equipment that tests how the sun degrades the modules.
