Lowell school district makes switch to solar power
Lake County’s involvement with solar energy began in 2015. Tri-Creek School Corporation’s bus barn converted to solar and since then 3 schools have installed panels. They are only hoping to increase that number. It is expected that the arrays will provide 80% of their energy needs, saving about $250,000 a year.
Benefits are numerous. Tri-Creek sees the ability to allocate those savings towards education. Solar panels dedicated to student projects can be found at each school. This venture prepares students for a future in clean energy, reduces the carbon footprint, decreases water usage at power plants, and is a catalyst for other schools to focus on being more green.
