Solar Paneling Installation complete!

We have been very fortunate at Illabo PS to be the recipients of a grant under the National Solar Schools Program, allowing our school the option of solar generated power.

Once the system has been operational for a while our students will be working on a mini unit in solar energy and will be trained in using the weather station data that is a part of this project.

They will have access to information contained in the integrated solar cells which measure solar irradiation as well as sensors which measure: module temperature, ambient temperature and wind speed.

The performance data is displayed on the website in graphs and tables which provides online access to up-to-date information on our energy usage and quality of electricity supply. Using this information we can make decisions to proactively reduce our:

• energy consumption
• environmental impact
• associated costs.
