SolarCity: High Powered Solar Panels in Dumaguete

The most promising renewable energy source in Negros Oriental, where Dumaguete City and Foundation university is located.  Being a coastal city, it is also abundant of sun exposure which has a very good potential in harnessing solar energy.  There are quite a few reasons why Foundation University became an important part in investing into this kind of energy and its environmental effects:

1)  It provides the university  very secure in terms of energy source.  Inflation causing high oil prices saves it from depending on the use of fossil fuels and foreign oil.

2)  The university has long established the effectiveness of solar energy even if its implementation is gradual.  Savings on electricity bills has already been achieved monthly that its excess funding goes to the education of its scholars.

3)  The existing solar panels inside the university has shown its potential by 50%.

4)  Solar facilities inside the university has been incorporated into its building designs which concentrates on its spacious rooftops occupying little space and is minimally noticeable.  It is simple to install that university personnel are already trained to do it minimizing the cost of hiring third party contractors

5)  Solar panels are very affordable that the university can stretch its effectivity for 20 years while it is very easy to maintain.

6)  Outside the campus, various companies who have ventured into solar energy created jobs as a result of solar installation and maintenance.

7)  On a greater scale, more and more citizens have greater access to energy most especially in the rural areas and their communities.

8)  Solar energy is the most environment friendly source of power.  Power coming from the sun has zero emission and inflicts no damage to the environment.

Being the national champion for being a sustainable and eco-friendly environment, Foundation University has definitely contributed much in the decrease of the earth's carbon footprint.

The sun has become a powerful source of energy.  It has gained momentum in the past years in terms of sustainability through solar energy.  The growing impact to the planet has raised awareness to the human community, thus, most sectors have switched to solar power reducing the negative effect to the environment which other energy sources could.

Solar energy is a natural source that is constantly replenished by utilizing the light and heat from the sun for power purposes which makes it a renewable source.  It converts the infinite availability of the sun's energy into power.  Foundation University,  an eco-friendly institution has gradually utilized solar energy over the years by putting up photovoltaic (PV) solar panels in the rooftops of its buildings.  The PV panels are spread across the roof of the building.  it contains PV cells that absorb energy electrons in the cells and create current that in transferred into wires for distribution into its [ower network.

Today,  the university is utilizing 65% of this renewable source to power its needs.  Striving to be 100% reliant on solar energy is also a challenge of the insitution.  Moving forward after three full years of pandemic restrictions solar power is on the the agenda in its upcoming strategic plans.
