Washington Elementary School, Berkeley, CA - 103.7KW (Aug 2008)

In August 2008, KyotoUSA released a report, using Berkeley's Washington Elementary School as a case study, demonstrating that installing solar systems on schools leads to a quantifiable increase in jobs, boosts the local economy, reduces carbon dioxide and other harmful toxic air emissions and improves the health of those living in the area where the electricity is generated. Watch a video (on YouTube) about this exciting project. The study also shows that the electricity derived from the photovoltaic systems improves the long-term economic well-being of the school district.
