Solar Panels Installed At Elementary School
KENTUCKY...
Solar panels have been installed on the roof of an elementary school in Warren County, a big step in the school's goal to be a net-zero energy school.
The $2.4 million solar panel project, which was partly funded through a state grant, will help the Richardsville Elementary School use 75 percent less energy than other schools.
Workers began installing the panels on Wednesday. About 2,000 solar panels will be installed on the roof, and 700 more panels will be placed on the school's parking structure.
The school's opening has been delayed while officials are waiting for a temporary certificate of occupancy from the state to begin moving in.
