Description
The Veteran's Glass City Skyway (VGCS) Solar Array Field Demonstration is a large array of solar panels that was installed north of the VGCS bridge next to Interstate I-280 in Toledo, OH. The array consists of solar modules from two separate manufacturers, First Solar, Inc. and Xunlight Corporation. The function of the solar array is to generate electricity to offset the bridge's lighting consumption, and to promote solar energy development in Ohio. A data acquisition system was installed to monitor and collect data to study the feasibility of operating a large solar array near a freeway. The purpose of this research is to provide information to estimate the cost effectiveness for future installations of this type and what equipment they should include.
