System Installer

  • Christenson Electric, Inc.
Today, Molalla High School 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

Dubbed “Pipa Y’ai” (“Sun for Man” in Molalla tribal dialect) the Molalla High School (Oregon) 1.1 kW solar-electric installation is the seventh Solar 4R Schools project to come from BEF’s collaboration with Portland General Electric and Energy Trust of Oregon. Using Molalla’s own system as a model, students are able to study various techniques for mounting residential photovoltaic systems. In addition, by creating a documentary film focused on the installation and operation of the project, the school’s Video Production class utilized the solar-electric system in an equally interesting way.
