Brothers Electric and Solar

Today, Thomas Jefferson High 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

Thomas Jefferson High School is very excited about offering its students hands-on access to solar-electric technology. Over a year, the 1.1kW photovoltaic (PV) system installed at the school will produce more than 1,000 kilowatt-hours of clean, renewable energy. More importantly, it will create interdisciplinary educational opportunities for our students and increase their ability to make informed energy decisions, as they become adult citizens.
