Arizona State University has installed solar panels on roof tops and the top decks of their parking garages that generate about 2 megawatts of power.  That is enough to run about 4,600 computers. The panels generate about $425,000 worth of energy and reduce ASU’s carbon emissions by 2,825 tons reduction per year.  The equivalent of the emissions from about 523 cars.  Arizona State has the largest solar installation of any US university.
