Exciting news that the Lake Havasu School District is following the Sedona Schools model of going solar!

Arizona solar rules allow school districts to generate 100 percent of their electricity from the sun, and no more than an additional 25 percent on top of that. Sedona Oak Creek Unified School District went solar back in the middle of this year. Big Park Community School flipped the switch for $41,000 a year savings when it turned on its large scale photovoltaic system this May. The first of the districts three schools to receive solar panels with money from the $73 million bond passed by voters November 2007 and may be the first school in the state to have its own 100,000 kilowatt solar photovoltaic system.

The school has 776 solar panels installed on two buildings.  The contract, for $2.8 million for energy efficient projects district-wide, allowed $1 million for Big Park’s panels. The district’s other two schools — Sedona Red Rock High School and West Sedona School — and the district office are set to receive panels of their own with $4 million set aside in the bond.

Big Park is set to save $41,000 a year on electric bills thanks to this new move and in the summer when school is not in session the power will not go to waste the school will earn $27,000 per year for the extra energy generated.

Definitely an exciting move for the school district and something which we will hopefully see more of in the trend towards greener energy. [See our post about Solar in Sedona!]
