Radio Iowa: Maharishi University of Management in Fairfield has the largest solar and storage power plant in Iowa, which is also billed as being the most technologically advanced facility of its kind in the world. University President John Hagelin says the five-acre, 1.1-megawatt array is run by an “artificial intelligence learning computer.” “Every single solar panel tilts independently of each other and it’s constantly adjusting to take into account clouds, sunlight reflected from the snow,” Hagelin said, “and if the panels get snow on them, the panels will dump the snow on the ground.”
