Today, Payette High School generated 3 Kilowatt-hours of electricity. From fossil-fueled sources, this amount of electricity would have emitted 5 lbs of CO2 into the atmosphere.

This could power:

  • An electric toothbrush for 13 weeks
  • A 42" plasma-screen television for 6 hours
  • A typical video game system for 1 week

Payette High School was one of five Idaho schools awarded a Solar 4R Schools grant in 2007. Their 1.1-kW solar electric system educates students and community members about the functions and benefits of solar power in Payette, a rural town in western Idaho. In addition to producing energy, Payette’s solar electric system includes web-based, real-time data monitoring that provides students with a comprehensive learning experience. Sustainable energy education is included in the school’s physical science, biology, technology and environmental science classes.
