In addition to producing clean energy, the Solar Garden benefits in many other ways:

• The project will provide opportunities for local community engagement.
• GVSU's 500 kilowatt subscription will increase our renewable energy source by 25 times.
• The project will create educational opportunities for GVSU students and local emergency response training.
• The Solar Garden will promote sustainability goals of the institution and encourage student engagement.
• It will provide a viable, alternative energy opportunity for the university.
