Identified as the largest photovoltaic initiative among school districts in the nation, the city’s school district has, so far, installed solar roofs on 24 of its schools.
The project, which also calls for installing photovoltaics on at least 20 more schools, features 2.5 million square feet of solar roofing. It is expected that the project will have a capacity of producing 10,450 megawatts
(sic: MWh??) of electricity annually. That’s enough electricity to power about 1,700 homes for one year.
The solar roofs are also expected to save the district more than $37 million in roof replacement, maintenance and electricity costs.
