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 developed an interest in the Australian energy and construction sectors more than a decade ago and have since closely followed the trends, technologies and developments shaping both industries. My involvement in the Australian solar market began in 2008, and over the years I have built strong connections with professionals, businesses and organisations across the construction, solar and renewable energy sectors in Australia and internationally. These connections include solar panel and inverter manufacturers, electrical and construction industry professionals, software developers creating tools to quote, monitor and manage solar power systems, and media organisations that closely follow developments across energy, construction and renewable technologies. Today, I continue to contribute as an industry advocate, author and commentator, sharing practical insights and information to help Australian consumers and businesses better understand solar power, energy technologies, construction-related developments and the changing Australian energy landscape.
