Solar PV System at Analy High School

November, 2005 - Utility inspectors recently flipped the switch to bring Analy High School's new solar electric system online. The 28.3-kilowatt system makes a significant contribution to Solar Sebastopol's goal of installing 1 megawatt (1,000 kilowatts) of solar power within city limits, on the first Sebastopol school to go solar. The system was designed by Cooperative Community Energy (CCE), a member business of Solar Sebastopol.

One hundred seventy-eight solar modules adorn the saw tooth roofline of Analy High School's wood shop building, mounted at an angle that allows for maximum solar absorption. The system's six inverters are connected to a special meter that displays the system's power output located inside the woodshop building.

Welcome Analy High School to the world of renewable energy! We hope many more schools will follow your fine example.
