A Central Coast university is going to go green in a big way, with solar power.
Cal Poly San Luis Obispo reached a deal to host a nearly 19 acre solar farm which will generate about a quarter of the electricity needed to power the campus.
REC Solar will finance, design, build, and maintain the facility which will be located next to Highway 1 on the west side of the campus. Cal Poly will buy the power generated by the facility.
