At the University of Nebraska–Lincoln (UNL), solar installations are ideal on two campuses: City Campus and East Campus. City Campus is the heart of the University and hosts buildings such as the Love Library. Each location presented TU Bright with unique opportunities for implementing solar energy.

We focused on a particular solution for each campus: a rooftop system for the East Campus, a ground mount system for the Agricultural Field, and a “green bling” system for the City Campus. Each of these proposed systems aligns with the goals and environment of each campus. The East Campus has a variety of stable buildings with high irradiance profiles. The Agricultural Field presents a flat land, ideal for a ground mount system. The City Campus is the central hub of the university, perfect for a solution to display their commitment to sustainability.
