Solar Installation

The largest on-campus solar facility in the Southeastern Conference is converting sunlight into electricity to generate renewable, sustainable power on Mississippi State University's campus. 

The 3,420 solar panel installation, visible from Blackjack Road along the southern perimeter of campus, is located on a four-acre field near MSU’s Power Generation Plant.  It will produce about 2.4 million kilowatt hours of energy annually, reducing pressure on the University’s energy system. 

The solar project combined with LED upgrades and lighting retrofits will reduce MSU’s carbon footprint by 7,548 metric tons annually and save a total of 10,784,865 kilowatt hours of energy per year.
