As part of the modernization and expansion made possible through Measure P Bond money, all the schools will ultimately have solar panels. Six out of ten do so far.
SOLAR TICKER: For the lifetime of all our solar panels (up through September 2012) the District has avoided spending over $95,000 on electricity!
So how much energy do the solar panels produce? How does that compare with how much energy the district uses?
