Today, Champlain Valley Union HS generated 5.0 Kilowatt-hours of electricity. From fossil-fueled sources, this amount of electricity would have emitted 7.0 lbs of CO₂ into the atmosphere.

This could power:

An electric toothbrush for 19 weeks
A 42" plasma-screen television for 10 hours
A typical video game system for 1 week

CVU High received a 1 kW photovoltaic solar array and a renewable energy education package as part of Bonneville Environmental Foundation’s Solar 4R Schools program. The school is the first in Vermont to receive one, and was funded by 100-year-old snow sport manufacturer Rossignol and Protect our Winters, a nonprofit dedicated to reversing global warming.
The system includes five solar panels, which the school installed on its roof. Connected to the school’s electrical grid, the panels provide enough electricity to power a classroom.
The education package also includes renewable energy educational materials, an activity guide and a number of energy-related science projects that the students will use in the classroom this year.
