Solar Photovoltaic Generation

The implementation of renewable generation at Unicamp is an importante initiative to reduce the cost of purchasing energy from the University, encourage and publicize the photovltaic generation área in Brazil, and establish a living laboratory for research, training and education of technicians and generation specialists photovoltaic power.

On the main campus of UNICAMP in Campinas-SP
534

of photovoltaic generation were installed

GMU – Unicamp Multidisciplinary Gymnasium

336,8 kWp

FEEC – School of Electrical and Computer Engineering

84,5 kWp

CEPETRO – Center for Petroleum Studies

NIPE – Interdisciplinary Center of Energy Planning

38,4 kWp

Exploratory Science Museum

4,1 kWp

EXTECAMP/EDUCORP
