Pictured from left to right: vice president, Rachel Pappalardo, president, Jasiel Diez, adviser, Tiina Lombard and former president, Daniel Cardona. KAYLIN CANTOR \/ THE REPORTER<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That idea will now become a reality after Miami Dade College gave the organization $1,000 in seed-funding to install two solar panels at North Campus. The project will be augmented by a $500 gift given to them by the EEI; the group also raised $1,100 for the project by selling snacks on campus.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Group members said the project, which will be installed between the Criminal Justice Building and Science Complex, will be completed by August<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;I can&#8217;t wait for the panels to be installed,&#8221; said Jasiel Diez, 19, who took over as president of \u00a0the Y.E.S. Club at North Campus this semester. &#8220;My group and I worked hard to see this goal fulfilled and seeing them make any sort of impact on our community is awesome.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The club entered the idea for the project into the Clinton Global Initiative University, which is a national conference where students, organizations, and celebrities discuss global challenges and think of solutions, to receive \u00a0the funding from MDC. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Solar panels are devices that convert light into electricity. The Y.E.S. club\u2019s solar panels will not generate electricity for the college. According to Fermin Vazquez, Senior Director of Campus Administration at North Campus, it gives back power to the grid, which is what actually gives the college power. There will also be a meter connected to the solar panels, which will show how much power the solar panel is obtaining.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The panels will be located where students can approach them. Vazquez said that there will be tours, which will give people the chance to learn about the solar panels.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;The great thing about this is that it was initiated by the students,&#8221; Vazquez said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s potential for solar panels to save the College on energy costs. But two panels can\u2019t do that. Currently, the only other Campus to utilize solar panels is the Environmental Center at Kendall Campus and four solar powered lights on one walkway at the same Campus.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tiina Lombard, the club\u2019s advisor said it\u2019s about time that the school decided to set up solar panels. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;It&#8217;s a step in the right direction because we&#8217;re behind the rest of the country,\u201d Lombard said. \u201cMany other institutions across the country are implementing them and we&#8217;re the Sunshine State. It&#8217;ll be easier for us than most other places.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But Florida is not taking advantage of solar power. In fact there is a big roadblock. A recent <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Miami Herald<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> article reported there is actually a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Florida law that restricts the growth of the rooftop solar industry. The law was written to give utilities a regional monopoly on power production, avoiding a tangle of power lines strung up by competing companies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Y.E.S. Club members are hoping that the solar panels will educate students and motivate them to be more green. They hope to add more solar panels on campus.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Solar energy is a rapidly growing field, so it&#8217;s the College&#8217;s responsibility to expose students to that,&#8221; said Rachel Pappalardo, 18, the vice president of the Y.E.S. Club at North Campus.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Before he became president of the Yes! for Environmental Sustainability (Y.E.S.)
