K-12 Schools Across America Switch to Solar Power
More than three-fourths of the installed battery projects at K-12 schools are in California, which has one of the longest-running storage incentive programs in the country.
Nearly 5,500 schools currently use solar energy systems. This number will continue to grow rapidly as solar panel efficiencies improve and manufacturing costs decline.
Solar power is the best way for schools to shine today, with an estimated 4 million students attending schools with some form of solar power application. With the latest advancements in technology and quicker return on investment, solar energy is now a practical and environmentally friendly option for schools.
Solar systems offer schools the opportunity for students to see first-hand how sunlight is converted into electricity. Additionally, they can play a powerful role in a school's sustainable projects and be integrated into STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math) programs.
A utility-grade solar installation can be integrated into a school's STEAM programs. This means it can be used as a learning tool for students and teachers, with various resources available like the National Energy Education Development (NEED) project.
