The completed renovation project of the Innovation Center at the DuPont
Experimental Station in Wilmington, Del., in mid-2008, included the installation
of a solar energy system which was funded in part by the State of Delaware’s
Green Energy Program. The photovoltaic (PV) panels of the system, which are
located on the roof of the building, collect solar energy and convert it to
provide 30 kilowatts of power each day. It provides enough electricity to power
all of the lights in the building. The system is expected to have a useful life
of at least 25 years.
