A nearly 15,000-panel solar energy array is expected to provide the NIST Gaithersburg, Maryland, campus with more than 8 million kilowatt-hours of energy each year—about 4 percent of the campus's energy use. The array is predicted to save NIST a minimum of $3.5 million in its first 20 years of operation.
