Solar Panels Installed on Roofs at Harford Community College

Solar panels will be installed on the roofs of the Chesapeake Center, Student Center, Joppa Hall, and the APG Federal Credit Union Arena at Harford Community College. The 3,700 panels will generate approximately 16% of the total electric use of the campus.
