Park City High School

As a Renewable School, Park City High School is building a dedicated community of renewable energy educators, generating clean energy through their 1.1-kilowatt photovoltaic (PV) system, and leveraging the system's performance data as an educational tool to bring energy topics to life in their classrooms. The project reflects the school’s commitment to educate students, parents and community members about sustainable sources of power. Under full sun conditions, the PV system could light more than 70 compact fluorescent light bulbs. Over a year, it will produce more than 1,000 kilowatt-hours of clean, renewable energy.

In 2008, educators within the school received a customized renewable energy teacher training, hands-on science kit materials to augment the school's existing curricula, and complete access to the resources available on the Solar4RSchools.org website. At the time of the project, energy monitoring provided to the school connected the live performance data from their PV system tos tudents and educators to analyze the system's performance data for educational purposes.
