The SunEdison solar panels will be installed on rooftops, atop parking canopies and in ground-mounted arrays to 15 CSUs, according to a news release from the Chancellor's Office.
"We will be getting green power much less from SunEdison than if you were to get it off the local grid," Fallis said. "It will be decreasing the strain on California's electricity infrastructure. We will be generating energy where it's being used."
Julia Kamaroff, president of the Environmental Club, said the club wants SJSU to become more environmentally friendly.
"We want to show the campus how they can change their actions to better our campus," she said. "And, we also want to help give them the means to fulfill these actions."
Kamaroff said she thinks SJSU is moving in the right direction, even though SJSU was not part the 15 sites that were selected as part of the partnership.
"I think that the ball is already rolling, and this will not hinder it," she said. "There are a lot of interested parties in this movement towards a more sustainable campus."
