It is anticipated that the solar project will generate almost enough energy to account for the entire electricity needs of our Almond Campus. There is a possibility the District will receive an additional $1.8 million in SRECS in the 16th year through 20th year of the project. The Almond Campus solar project cost was a nearly $7.3 million capital expense which was offset by $2.5 million in Solar Energy Renewal Credits (SRECS) and other incentives, a net cost of $4.8 million. This project was one of several building projects explicity identified in a bond issuance of $23 million, which occurred in the fall of 2018. We explored both rooftop and ground mount projects and since the summer of 2018, we pursued a ground mount project on the south end of our Almond Campus along Gages Lake Road. to investigate special project and financial details. WTHS partnered with Performance Services, Inc.

Solar energy provides for earth-friendly energy usage, an opportunity for authentic hands-on curriculum for students to apply science concepts, and financial benefits (government incentives and significant electric bill reductions), which are available to school districts with solar projects. OctoFor several years, District 121 investigated the installation of solar panels on our campuses.
