Jacobs Halls, UC Berkeley - Berkeley, CA - Case Study
Rooftop - Size: 50KW - GxB 300W
Jacobs Hall is the brand new home for University of California, Berkeley’s Jacobs Institute for Design Innovation in the College of Engineering. The building was built to embody the values of the institute itself: “a place to explore, a place to connect and a place to learn design innovation by doing design innovation.” Now, it has an advanced bifacial solar PV solar system, too. The cutting edge solar system with Sunpreme Bifacial PV panels will do more than just help the Institute control its electricity bills — it will provide environmental benefit of having PV solar installed and is on track to receive one of the highest levels of LEED Certification for a green building.
The Situation
Sunpreme’s innovative technology and pleasing aesthetics stood out when the Institute weighed in its options.
The Solution
Not surprisingly, the cutting edge technology of the double glass, frameless solar panels played a major role in the selection process.
With such installations, Sunpreme is spearheading the transformation of PV solar installations from purely utilitarian function to artistic roof-top designs that add beauty to the function.
This system is expected to not only help the Institute reduce its electricity bills and save money, but also reduce carbon emissions by 500 tons of carbon dioxide over the next 25 years.
The Result
The site generated over 100 Megawatt hours of energy since its commissioning.
