Merritt College – Construction for Peralta’s first ever solar photovolatic project begins in earnest as Peralta heads into Spring Break. With students, faculty and staff away for the week, Chevron Energy Solutions will begin moving construction trailers, fencing, and heavy equipment onto parking lots and hillside where the structures supporting 1.2MW worth of solar panels will be built. Solar projects of comparable sizes takes about 6 months to complete, but Chevron Energy Solutions aims to flip the switch by August, an ambitious 4-month construction timeline.
