Merici Solar Energy System
Submitted by mericiadmin on April 11, 2019 - 11:37am
This week our solar energy system was officially handed over to the school by SolarHub.
School Sustainability Captain Gabrielle Cox, several students and Merici's Sustainability Leadership Team were all present to learn about how the system works and see the data live.
As it was a cool and sunny day, our system of 276 panels at 92KW was actually providing 33% of the school's energy even though overall it is expected to average 18% of our usage. Very exciting!
