Solar installations on school roofs

In the US approximately 125 thousand secondary schools. According to a recent study of the center of The Solar Foundation (TSF), 3752 schools installed solar panels with a total capacity of 490 mW. Over the past year they produced about 640 000 mW-hours of electricity a total value of 77,8 million dollars. However, according to the calculations of TSF, this is very far from ideal: the number of schools in which installation of solar panels would be cost-justified, up to 72 thousand.





Impressive pace "solarization": more than 3,000 solar installations were installed in the last 6 years. It is expected that further growth will be not lower: in 2010 the average cost of a solar installation "turnkey", according to the report by SEIA/GTMResearch fell in the country at 53 percent.
