Schools can participate in Community Solar
The SRP Community Solar program offers schools an alternative to the traditional method of installing solar photovoltaic energy panels on rooftops.
An easy choice
- Environmentally friendly: reduces greenhouse-gas emissions.
- No upfront costs to install solar panels on the facility's roof.
- No solar panel maintenance or repair costs.
- Price certainty on the Community Solar portion of your SRP bill for ten years.
Participating school districts will also receive access to solar educational materials and a web portal, which will provide data on the plant's operation and performance. The information will allow students to learn about the benefits of solar energy and how capturing the sun to generate electricity is one of many renewable energy sources for the future.
How it works
Community Solar allows public schools in SRP's service territory to purchase energy from the Copper Crossing Solar Ranch in Florence, AZ. School districts will purchase a portion of the output from the solar facility for a fixed price of 9.9 cents per kWh for 10 years. Each school's share of the solar plant will be individually metered.
You can learn more about the program by reading the Community Solar for Schools rider (PDF).
