The U.S. Department of Energy announced support for a three-year collaboration with the Electric Power Research Institute and the New York Power Authority that includes designing a solar+storage system at Queens College of the City University of New York."Sustainable CUNY's work over the last decade to reduce solar market barriers has made it easier for New Yorkers to 'go solar' and we are proud to work with the EPRI Team and Queens College to host a solar plus storage system," said Tria Case, University Director of Sustainability. "Through the Smart DG Hub and this project, CUNY will now help demonstrate new technology that can protect citizens during energy emergencies as well as to support the Department of Energy goal to integrate resilient solar into our utility grid.
