Today, William Thomas Middle School generated 3.2 Kilowatt-hours of electricity. From
fossil-fueled sources, this amount of electricity would have emitted 4.5 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
One of five Idaho schools awarded a Solar 4R Schools installation in 2007, William Thomas Middle School is one of the first buildings visible on the drive into American Falls from Interstate 86, and the 1.1-kW solar installation is positioned on its south side facing the town's main thoroughfare, Bannock Avenue. Although the system offsets a portion of the school's electricity bills, its primary focus is education. Using the Solar 4R Schools curriculum and data from the solar electric system, teachers bring the science of solar power right into their classrooms.
