The challenge
Outages disrupted evening prep and the computer lab, and electric water heating for dormitories strained the school budget.
Our solution
A hybrid solar and storage system powers classrooms, lab and security lighting, while solar water heaters serve the dormitories.
The outcome
Students study through outages and the school has reduced its monthly energy spend.
