Interview With Generation180 About Its New Report On Solar In Schools
by Generation180. Pennsylvania is a leader in the overall energy sector — second behind Texas for total energy production and electricity generation. Serving almost 2 million students, Pennsylvania also has one of the largest school systems in the nation. As of now, though, only 5% of students attend a school with a solar energy system.
“It’s critical for our schools to be part of the transition to a clean energy economy. Schools are where our children are raised, and developed and grown to become future leaders of tomorrow. So they need to understand how energy plays a role in the transition from fossil fuels to clean renewable energy sources.
“And then through teaming up with FedEx, who has their ground headquarters in Pittsburgh, we decided that it would be a really great opportunity to start a campaign in Pennsylvania. And it was also a really good state because of the potential. We knew that there were some obstacles and some educational advocacy awareness that needs to be around schools to help push the movement forward. So here we are launching our first campaign in Pennsylvania, and I’m really excited to be a part of that.
“They really just want to help them understand some of the obstacles — if they even make sense to them — so would just help pull all the pieces together and connect them to the right people, because we found that school districts and most other industries as well like to learn and hear from their peers. If someone else has gone through it, they’ll trust them more, so really like to be that hub.”
“And then we have Philadelphia, whose doing hands-on — they’re actually installing, they’re understanding how it’s connected to the inverters as well as the battery storage. So, they go from project consumption all the way to installation. So, they’re learning both cells as well as installation design. And they’re getting up on roofs seeing if they’re comfortable to get on the roofs because that’s sometimes something that is a surprise to students.
