Parking Structures Solar Photovoltaics (PV) Project

The Parking Structures Solar Photovoltaics (PV) Project involves the installation and long-term operation of six new photovoltaic carport canopies on the San Diego State University campus in San Diego, California. The project will place two canopies on the top floors of three specific locations: the 6th floor of Parking Structure 3 (#96), the 5th floor of Parking Structure 4 (#99), and the 6th floor of Parking Structure 6 (#79). These installations are designed to integrate with the SDSU and SDGE grids to support the university's economic and environmental sustainability goals, with an expected first-year energy generation of approximately 3,560,000 kilowatt-hours. The project is being carried out by San Diego State University and approved by The Trustees of The California State University, with Kara Peterson, Director of Planning, serving as the primary administrative contact. Under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the project has been granted a Notice of Exemption as it utilizes existing parking structures without expanding their footprints or impacting protected species. The project is classified under NAICS code 221114 and is located at 5500 Campanile Drive, San Diego, CA 92182.
