Today, Sunnyside Environmental 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 12 weeks
A 42" plasma-screen television for 6 hours
A typical video game system for 6 days

Sunnyside Environmental School's 1.1 kW solar array generates more than 1,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity per year. As a learning tool, the system introduces students to renewable energy technology and provides an opportunity to explore energy issues in an interactive, hands-on way. The web-based data monitoring system that accompanies the installation allows students to observe real-time system performance and download historical data for presentation and analysis. An interactive touch-screen kiosk inside the school displays live system data and information about conservation and other renewable energy sources.
