NY Private School Welcomes Solar Technology

A New Jersey private school is putting its funding to good use and going green for their energy.

The Villa Victoria Academy recently activated the 658 solar photovoltaic panels which now sit proudly atop the schools classrooms.

According to BSC Clean Energy, the company responsible for the installation, the system will produce over 185,000 kilowatts of renewable energy every year, providing up to 82 per cent of the schools electricity needs.

It is hoped that this move by the Villa Victoria Academy will encourage other schools to do the same and move to a cleaner, greener energy future.

I took an interest in the Australian energy sector close to ten years ago and since then have monitored the trends, technologies and direction of the Australian Energy Market. I was drawn to the Australian solar market in 2008 and since then have worked heavily in the field. I am partnered with national and international solar energy companies, from manufacturers of solar panel and inverter technology, online software developers that introduce tools to quote, monitor and manage solar power systems and media organisations who like myself, closely monitor the solar and renewable energy sector.
