Solar Installations for Demonstration and Education
Now in the fifth year of the program, over 120 schools have received a 1 kilowatt photovoltaic system that converts
sunlight into electric power. Included in the package
is an online monitoring tool that provides real-time
data on the system’s activity and the amount
of electricity generated.
These
schools also receive the specialized curriculum
package funded through the program, and are eligible
to receive a “Bright Ideas” grant as well.
Schools with a PV system are
asked to increase the value of their installation by participating in a PG&E sponsored teacher
training workshop.
The Foundation
for Environmental Education (FEE) coordinates
installation and trouble-shooting for the installations.
If
you have questions about the application or the installation,
please contact Glen Kizer at glen@learnenergy.org .
