Posted: 11:50 AM- CEDAR CITY - Southern Utah University has installed 35 solar panels on a campus building with help from a grant from Rocky Mountain Power.
Associate Vice President for Facilities Management David Tanner says the panels are part of a campus initiative to be more green. He says the campus is landscaped with 80 different types of trees and drought-resistant shrubs.
Rocky Mountain Power gave the campus $30,000, over half the cost of the solar panel project.
Tanner says the campus is also looking at using biodegradable cleaning products and using lighter colored roofing to save on air conditioning costs.
