The Catholic University of America dedicated the largest solar PV system in the District of Columbia, an array with more than 2,600 panels generating more than 830,000 kWh of electricity a year.

The solar energy system, which was installed by Standard Solar of Rockville, Maryland, includes a canopy of 714 panels over more than 70 parking spaces. The PV system is owned and operated by Washington Gas Energy Systems as part of a 20-year power purchasing agreement with Catholic University.
