Today, Bertschi School generated 12 Kilowatt-hours of electricity. From
fossil-fueled sources, this amount of electricity would have emitted 16 lbs of
CO2 into the atmosphere.
This could power:
- An electric toothbrush for 46 weeks
- A 42" plasma-screen television for 23 hours
- A typical video game system for 3 weeks
Located on North Capitol Hill, Bertschi School had a 4kW solar-electric system installed in 2006. The visibility of the solar panels is a public symbol of the school's commitment to educating students about responsible global citizenship and environmental sustainability. In November 2008, Solar 4R Schools repaired the power monitoring and weather station of the photovoltaic system at Bertschi School, as well as provided activity guides and science kits to the school to assist educators in integrating renewable energy education into their curriculum.
