Auraria Library

PROJECT DETAILS

Namaste Solar partnered with the Auraria Sustainable Campus Program (ASCP) and Auraria Higher Education Center (AHEC) to install this solar array atop the Auraria Library. Comprised of 2,106 solar panels, this is the largest single-roof array in downtown Denver. It will generate approximately 1 million kWh annually, enough to power two-thirds of the library’s electricity needs. The array also plays a big role in lowering campus greenhouse gas emissions by saving an estimated 1.2 million pounds of CO2 from entering the atmosphere each year. The energy savings from this project will help increase the ASCP’s annual funding by 10-15%, allowing for other impactful projects on campus.
