Bringing solar energy to schools is an important first step to increasing the use of solar energy in the entire community.
Schools make excellent showcases for displaying the benefits of solar energy.
Students learn about solar energy, and then can educate their parents and other adult member of the community about these technologies. Many are the result of green pricing voluntary programs in which utility consumers pay a little extra per month to support renewable or green energy or make actual donations to funds for renewable energy projects. Federal and state funding has contributed to the growth in solar school numbers. There is no one best way to get it done. But there is a great deal of experience out there to help you if you would like to get a project going in your school.
