System Installer

  • Encore Electric
Today, Denver School of Science and Technology generated 3 Kilowatt-hours of electricity. From fossil-fueled sources, this amount of electricity would have emitted 4 lbs of CO2 into the atmosphere.

This could power:

  • An electric toothbrush for 11 weeks
  • A 42" plasma-screen television for 6 hours
  • A typical video game system for 6 days

The 1.1-kilowatt solar-electric system was installed in November 2008 on the new middle school building at the Denver School of Science and Technology (DSST). DSST's Middle School Program has a college preparatory focus, with an emphasis on developing core liberal arts skills in reading, writing, mathematics and science. DSST will use the solar-electric system and Solar 4R Schools educational materials as a teaching tool for both middle and high school students. The program is designed to teach students and communities about sustainable energy practices.
