Through a partnership to promote the use of renewable energy in the Pacific Northwest, Portland General Electric (PGE), Energy Trust of Oregon, and the Bonneville Environmental Foundation (BEF) joined forces to introduce solar power to Sunnyside Environmental School.
Sunnyside’s 1.1 kW solar array generates more than 1,000 kilowatt-hours of pollution-free electricity per year. As a learning tool, the system introduces students to renewable energy technology and provides an opportunity to explore energy issues in an interactive, hands-on way. The web-based data monitoring system that accompanies the installation allows students to observe real-time system performance and download historical data for presentation and analysis. An interactive touch-screen kiosk inside the school displays live system data and information about conservation and other renewable energy sources.
The Sunnyside Environmental School installation is the fifth Solar 4R Schools project in Portland Public Schools. The other five are at Rosa Parks Elementary School, da Vinci Arts Middle School, Cleveland High School and Lincoln High School. |
