The importance of solar on schools has always been high on my list. A question from a school board architect got me into solar and putting on schools project in New Orleans made me realize what kind of impact solar curriculum could have on kids. Think about it, how often do you get questions about solar from adults that should be taught to kids. How does it make energy? Does it go into a battery? It keeps the lights on if the power goes out, right? We all get the questions and we need to do more to teach kids about solar. A start would be to put it on every school in the Country, use the energy savings to buy more books and computers and make sure that every teacher can educate the next generation on how solar works. Since 2008, I have owned solaronschools.com but have never done anything with it. If you have a good idea, reach out and let’s put it to use.
