EVAN DOVENBERG \\ THE REPORTER<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The project is part of an effort to improve lighting and make the campus more environmentally friendly. The Hialeah-based <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">manufacturer and distributor of sustainable and Eco-friendly lighting technologies, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Coinlighting of CoinVet, Inc., installed the solar posts in mid-January.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each pole has a bank battery that gets energy from the sun during the day and those energies get charged. Even if it is cloudy the entire day, the pole still receives heat from the atmosphere which charges it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe cost of each pole was $2,500, which is half the price of a conventional pole,\u201d said Marlon Miranda the Chief Electrician for Miami Dade College. \u201cThis is beneficial because the school is saving money and getting free energy. \u00a0We wanted to make it quick and efficient, so we decided to do a sustainability initiative which is supposed to improve the campuses lighting systems. They are changing lights around the campuses to improve energy savings. That is the beauty of this system, because the light still works even if the sun hasn\u2019t been shining all day.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Administrators were responding to concerns from students about safety issues due to lack of lighting. There are hip-high lighting fixtures alongside the pathway, that only created enough light to see the immediate path.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI think the new solar paneled lights are very good because I come with my sister to her night classes, and it used to be pitch-black around there at night which is really scary,\u201d said Renee Etienne a psychology major.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kendall Campus is the first campus that has installed a solar powered lighting system. College administrators said they are waiting for additional funding for more poles at Kendall and new ones at North Campus. Those poles will be placed in the parking lots to improve lighting.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI appreciate that this public institution is taking interest in conserving energy and reflecting the ideals of their students such as preserving the environment,\u201d said Joel Acosta a theater major at Kendall Campus.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Four solar-panel lighting poles equipped with phone charge boxes line a path from building M to building N at Kendall Campus.
