More from the Constructionweekonline article-

A total of 16 567 square metres of photovoltaic arrays installed on the monumental roof will produce 4 Megawatts of renewable energy, offsetting 5.7% of the total campus energy demand.

A proposed 900 000 square metres of solar energy panels will eventually provide 100% of all campus energy needs and make the university carbon neutral. The university has contracted to obtain 35% of the total campus energy needs from an outside renewable energy provider.

16,567 sq meters = 4mw = 5.7% of total need
If 16,567 sq meters = 5.7% of total need, then
300,000 sq meters = 100% of total need, but
the article says they will have 900,000 sq meters eventually.
It is possible the current need and future need are different.

If 4mw = 5.7% of total need, then
900,000 sq meters = 70 mw = 100% of total need

Therefore, size of contract awarded private contractor-
315,000 sq meters = 25 mw = 35% of total need

If each panel is 2 sq. meters then 150,000 panels

I do not know the sale price of the panels, but if
each panel is $1000 then this is a $15 million contract.

Would be a nice demonstration project and
pay for factory construction.
