Workers from SolarCity install an array of solar panels in a campus field off Route 281 near the SUNY Cortland Physical Plant. The installation is the first of three groups of panels that will eventually produce about 6 percent of the College’s electricity. When completed later this spring, those arrays — on the roofs of Park Center and the new Student Life Center as well as in this field — will comprise 700 new solar panels.
