Proposal to Install Photovoltaic Panels At Every Public School


The Department of Education has submitted a proposal to install photovoltaic panels at every single public school in the state.  According to the proposal, the panels will be added over a five year period and will cut the DOE’s annual power bill by 50 percent.  The DOE spent a total of $47 million during the 2011 to 2012 school year and feels that the money saved could be channeled into other funds.  The Department of Education has a foal of using 90 percent clean energy by 2040.
