Sigma Chi's Epsilon Eta chapter at California State-Fresno now features a solar panel system paid with a $177,338 donation from a chapter alum.

The system is expected to provide electricity to the chapter house for 30 years and consists of 135 panels mounted above the parking lot. It is expected to generate 97% of the House’s annual $17,700 electricity charges. The savings will pay-off installation costs in about 10 years.

The system will provide shade, improved security lighting and include two electric vehicle charging stations.

It was dedicated on August 4, 2018 to Sigma Chi Steve Heinrichs who passed away in 2016.
