University Of Utah Student Technology Illuminates Impacts Of Solar Power

University Of Utah Student Technology Illuminates Impacts Of Solar Power
THE UNIVERSITY OF UTAH UNVEILED STUDENT-MADE TECHNOLOGY MONDAY THAT UNIVERSITY STUDENTS AND OFFICIALS HOPE WILL OPEN EYES TO THE POTENTIAL OF SOLAR POWER AND OTHER RENEWABLE ENERGY SYSTEMS.

While celebrating the university's solar system installed last year, University of Utah graduate Tom Melburn introduced the final product of a project he has spearheaded since 2011 to create a tool that sheds light on the energy-saving impacts and environmental benefits of solar power, which he said will hopefully inspire others to adopt more sustainable practices and attitudes.

"The cost benefit of installing solar panels on the short-term may not make the most economic sense, but it does on the long-term," Melburn said. "So (this tool) should ultimately make it more desirable for people to adopt renewable, sustainable energy."
