Over the last few months, we’ve seen several schools get outfitted with solar power systems. Puget Sound Energy has a program that is facilitating solar installations at schools in western Washington state and, more recently, what is being called the largest K-12 solar installation program in the U.S. was completed in San Jose, California. The idea of outfitting schools with solar power systems offers multiple potential benefits in that not only can the solar power help reduce school expenses, but the installation, maintenance and monitoring of these systems can provides educational opportunities as well.
