Camp Pendleton is going greener with the use of renewable energy, by developing a photovoltaic system or “solar panels,” which were unveiled in the Stuart Mesa housing community Feb. 3. The photovoltaic system uses solar cells to convert light into electricity, generating 1.48 megawatts of renewable energy annually, and will also power 5 percent of the base’s daily energy use. The system has 225 panels, with each panel featuring 28-235 watt-modules tallying 6,300 photovoltaic components for all six acres.
