The 1.1 kW solar panel project at Kraxberger Middle School is the first renewable energy system at the school. Gladstone High School won the solar panels for the school through the Change-A-Light campaign with Energy Trust of Oregon. Teachers at Kraxberger intend to use the data generated from the project for classroom use. Cloudy days, sunny days and temperature changes will affect the energy output of the solar panels. By conducting experiments using these variables and others, students will be able to learn about solar energy in a hands-on environment.
