Madison Avenue Parking Lot Goes Green

Madison Avenue Parking Lot Goes Green

The University of Scranton turned on a new solar-powered energy system to help supply the energy needed for the lights and security cameras on the Madison Avenue Parking Lot. A team of professors, students and staff members developed the photovoltaic system, supported through a $15,000 grant from the Sustainable Energy Fund for the Solar Scholars 2008 PV Grant competition. Team members for this project include, from left, James Loven, laboratory equipment manager; University of Scranton juniors Greg Niehaus, Ben Redan and Colby Haggerty; Mark Murphy, assistant director of utilities and plant engineer; Argyrios Varonides, Ph.D., professor of physics and electrical engineering; John Murphy of HSA design; and Robert Spalletta, Ph.D., professor of physics and electrical engineering.
