Cornell University's hou Sutton Road Solar Farm, he whare hiko 2-megawatt ka whakakore i te tata ki te 40 paiheneti o te hiahia hiko a-tau i te Te Teihana Whakamatau Ahuwhenua o Niu Ioka (NYSAES) i Geneva, New York, i tino mahi i te 13 o Aperira.
"Kei te whakahaere a maatau kairangahau i nga rangahau taketake me te tono ki te whakapai ake i nga hua me te kaha ake ki nga mate, te tauraki me nga paanga kino rawa atu o te ahuarangi koretake i a maatau e whakaatu ana i nga mahi ahuwhenua a muri ake nei," ko ta Susan Brown, te Kaiwhakahaere Whānau o Goichman o NYSAES. "I roto i a maatau kaupapa huarākau me nga huawhenua kei te ako matou i te huarahi pai ki te hauhake i te ra, no reira e tika ana kia pera ano te kaha e whakakaha ana i a matou taiwhanga me nga whare kati."
Ko te hanga o te paamu solar, he whare 17-eka e whakaatu ana i nga panui whakaahua 9,120 kei te taha o te huarahi o Sutton Road i Seneca, New York, i timata i te puna kua hipa, a ko te kaupapa tuarua a Cornell megawatt-scale solar. I te marama o Hepetema 2014, i whakatuwherahia e te whare wananga te Cornell Snyder Road Solar Farm me nga panui whakaahua 6,778 i runga i te waahanga 11-eka e piri ana ki te Taunga rererangi a rohe o Tompkins County i Lansing, New York. Ko te taapiri i te huinga Geneva hou ki te whakaputanga o te whare Lansing, ka whakaputahia e te whare wananga te 5,700 megawatt-haora o te hiko ia tau.
"Ko te neke mai i te punaha whakamahana hau me te punaha hiko ki te kaha whakahou he mea tika ki te whakatutuki i te whaainga o Cornell me te kawanatanga o New York mo te whakakore i te kaha," ko ta Bert Bland, te perehitini tuarua mo te kaha me te pumau i roto i te wahanga Hanganga, Rawa me te Mahere o te whare wananga. .
I te marama o Hepetema 2014, ka whakapuaki a Kawana Andrew Cuomo i nga tohu NY-Sun mo nga kaupapa hiko solar nui ka piki ake te kaha o te hiko o te ra i roto i te kawanatanga ma te neke atu i te 214 megawatts, he 68 paiheneti te piki ake i runga i te nui o te ra i whakauruhia. I tohe te NY-Sun Initiative ki te whakawhānui ake i te maakete hiko whakahou o te kawanatanga ki te whakaheke i nga utu o te hangarau.
te New York State Energy Research and Development Authority ka whakahaere i nga tohu NY-Sun, a, ko te kotahi hautoru o te utu whakapaipai o te kaupapa, ko te kaiwhakawhanake motuhake ko Distributed Sun and Building Energy Asset Management LLC ka mau, ka whakahaere i te raupapa Geneva. Ko Jeff Weiss '79 te heamana takirua me te kaiwhakahaere whakahaere i Distributed Sun. Ka hokona e Cornell te hiko o te paamu solar ma te whakaaetanga me te kamupene.
Ko te whakamahi hiko solar tetahi noa o nga mahi maha e mahia ana e te whare wananga ki te whakaiti i tana tapuwae waro. Ko te Kaihautu Matua o te Roopu Mahi Ahurangi a Cornell kua whakapaehia ki te whakarite kaupapa matua hei awhina i te whare wananga kia noho kore waro. Ka tukuna e te roopu nga taunakitanga me o raatau utu hei te Hepetema 1.
