Ruch Outdoor Community School is proud to be the first public school in the county to boast a solar installation.
The project, scheduled for installation by the end of this school year, is due to district funds as well as a $24,000 grant from Pacific Power Blue Sky. The funds are part of the Blue Sky Renewable Energy program that allows customers to contribute to renewable energy in their communities.
A 33 panel, 11.4 kW photovoltaic (PV) system on the school’s roof will generate 15,483 kilowatt hours annually, saving the district roughly two-thousand dollars annually in energy costs.
The project will include a kiosk to display site energy generation and usage, which the school will incorporate into its STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) curriculum.
