SRP Solar for Schools Program to Offset Electricity & Provide Curriculum for Classrooms
Salt River Project announced today the 14 schools chosen to receive photovoltaic (PV) systems for their rooftops from the SRP Solar for Schools program. Combs High School of San Tan Valley in the J.O. Combs Unified School District was the only school in Pinal County selected for the solar energy system. The program will fund the installation and maintenance of 10-kilowatt roof-mounted solar photovoltaic systems. SRP will also furnish each of the selected schools with materials and training to educate students about solar energy.“These systems will allow schools to offset their energy usage while providing a valuable educational tool to their students,” said Lori Singleton, SRP Manager of Sustainability Initiatives and Technologies. “SRP’s goal in educating students about renewable energy is to teach the next generation of energy users about the clean, renewable sources that provide electricity today and in the future.”
