  • Solar Cascade
Today, Grace Lutheran School generated 2 Kilowatt-hours of electricity. From fossil-fueled sources, this amount of electricity would have emitted 3 lbs of CO2 into the atmosphere.

This could power:

  • An electric toothbrush for 7 weeks
  • A 42" plasma-screen television for 4 hours
  • A typical video game system for 4 days

The 1.1-kilowatt solar-electric system was installed at Grace Lutheran School in December 2008 on the roof of the school in clear view of thousands of cars that pass each day. The Pre-Kindergarten to 8th-grade school is incorporating the installation in several educational experiences, including newspaper reporting on the project, a website profile and community science days. The school is also displaying the PV system’s output on it’s announcement board - a 52' plasma screen – located in the front entry.
