Today, West Linn HS generated 2 Kilowatt-hours of electricity. From fossil-fueled sources, this amount of electricity would have emitted 2 lbs of CO2 into the atmosphere.

This could power:

  • An electric toothbrush for 6 weeks
  • A 42" plasma-screen television for 3 hours
  • A typical video game system for 3 days

West Linn High School (WLHS) is the fifth project in BEF's Solar 4R Schools program. The 1.05 kW solar array was completed in December 2003. The new learning center at WLHS replaced a one-story classroom wing referred to as "the maze." The design is a reflection of the district's goals for educating students and providing community outreach.
