Univ of California San Diego Solar: FAQ

Where is Univ of California San Diego Solar?
In San Diego County, California (CA). The map on this page is placed at the coordinates EIA files for the plant, which locate the site rather than any individual unit.
How big is Univ of California San Diego Solar?
1 MW of nameplate capacity across 1 unit, as of the EIA-860M release for 2026-07.
Who owns Univ of California San Diego Solar?
EIA-860M names University of California San Diego as the reporting entity. That is the operator of record on the survey, which is not always the ultimate owner.
Is this the same as Univ of California San Diego Solar LLC?
Probably, but EIA-860M does not say. The survey records a plant name and a reporting entity — University of California San Diego here — not the project company that holds the asset. Project companies are commonly registered as an LLC carrying the plant's name, so a search for "Univ of California San Diego Solar LLC" usually means this site. This page shows only what EIA files, and does not assert a corporate structure it cannot see.
Is Univ of California San Diego Solar still running?
