Inspiring students

The first of its kind on a university campus, the ground station gives students the opportunity to perform a number of operational functions that will help them in their careers. Photovoltaic solar panels were installed on the university campus grounds and rooftop, with a goal to become a completely solar-powered campus over the next few years.
