System Installer

  • Puget Sound Solar
Today, Bertschi School generated 11 Kilowatt-hours of electricity. From fossil-fueled sources, this amount of electricity would have emitted 15 lbs of CO2 into the atmosphere.

This could power:

  • An electric toothbrush for 42 weeks
  • A 42" plasma-screen television for 21 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.
