Solar energy system up and running at usc s catalina island facility.
Usc currently operates small scale solar installations at the cardinal gold apartment building and at the wrigley marine science center on catalina island where solar power provides 20 of the energy needs of the dining hall and kitchen with more solar coming to wrigley in 2020.
