University center highlights solar energy By PETER SLEETH Of the Emerald Despite Oregon's oft-lamented rain, solar energy is alive and glowing at the University’s Solar Energy Center. A joint venture between the architecture school and the physics department for the past six years, the center offers an information bureau and a research program. Findings are published regularly and are available to the public The research arm of the center, headed by physics Prof. Dave McDaniels, regularly collects statewide data on solar potential, with some surprising results. For instance, the center has found that Oregon’s solar potential compares favorably with California’s. "We’ve measured direct solar radiation and shown we have 75 percent of the direct radiation on an annual basis as in Barstow," Calif., McDaniels says. “And 94 percent in the summer." But McDaniels doubts much of that energy will be used until the Reagan administration quits its "oil-well mentality.” Because of Reagan's proposed 60-percent cut in the government s solar energy program, the informa tion center is expecting an increase in demand for its services, according to John Jennings, information coordinator. Located in Emerald Hall, the information center offers a library with current solar data and a referral center, complete with tax credit information, for those interested in harnessing the sun. The center s activities, including regular seminars, reach beyond the campus and sometimes include statewide projects. “There's clearly a lot of public events that happen as a result of the center," says University architecture Prof. John Reynolds, director of the center. Solar projects also are benefiting campus residents. Solar collectors in the east campus student housing, installed last year, are expected to reduce utility bills by 50 percent. The center’s next seminar will be held at the Central Presbyterian Church, 1475 Ferry St., tonight at 7:30 p.m. Southern Oregon State College Prof. Tom Marvin will lecture on "Solar Electric Conversion: A Residential Photovoltaic Application.
