Solar on Schools Initiative

The Solar on Schools Initiative provides each of the participating school systems with a solar photovoltaic (PV) installation, as well as web-based data display on the PV system performance. The data collection and display system allows teachers and students to access system performance data and use it in science or other curricula. Through the web-based system, participating schools and other education-oriented institutions can compare the operating results of their PV systems to that of other schools in the Program. Each of the participating schools receives:
A 2000-watt solar photovoltaic installation, including data acquisition and performance tracking system, and A Heliotronics Data Monitoring System and energy curricula, including teacher training, mentoring, course materials and internet access to the PV system output data of the schools and institutions participating in the Program.
The major portion of the funding for the cost of the PV system and the educational support will come from the Renewable Energy Fund and the Office of Energy Resources. Participating schools must provide a nominal amount toward the cost of the program. Each school must identify a team of teachers from who have a strong interest in making the educational aspects of the Program a success. An additional requirement is that the PV panels themselves be sited in a location with a high degree of visibility for the community.
The following Rhode Island Schools have received PV systems under the Solar on Schools program:
· Veterans Memorial High School, Warwick
· Ponaganset High School, North Scituate
· Park View Middle School, Cranston
