QESST Installs Solar PV System in Monument Valley

On November 1, 2014, QESST Scholars and faculty completed the first phase of a solar PV system on a residence in the Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park. The residence has no connectivity to grid electricity and thus has few options for electricity. The installed system ultimately will provide lighting in each room, as well as powering small appliances, including a television and a coffee maker. The goal of this ongoing project is to educate the community about how solar energy works and its benefits to the community.
