"The installation of the system really highlights some of the activities that our students have been working on looking at alternative energy sources. This demonstration shows them how renewable energy works, and how, as they look into the future, they can incorporate these energy sources into their homes and lives."

Longview School District students can now learn about clean energy and the natural world at the 82-acre Wake Robin Learning Center, courtesy of a 1.1-kilowatt solar-electric system funded by Cowlitz County PUD.
Designed to do more than generate electricity, the solar project is also a learning tool that introduces students to renewable energy technology and provides them with an opportunity to explore global energy issues in an interactive, hands-on way. The web-based data monitoring system that accompanies the installation allows students to monitor real-time system performance and to 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.
