Out of all the changes happening on both campuses, there’s one that makes a big impact, but may not be as visible to most! Thanks to the generosity of an anonymous donor, solar panels will be integrated on our rooftops.
On the North Campus, these panels have already been installed. 30 panels have been placed on the roof of Benson and will soon be generating energy. Each panel collects approximately the equivalent of 5 100-watt lightbulbs, every hour. Multiply that by 30, and it makes a pretty big difference!
Though they have yet to go up, solar panels will eventually also be placed on the roof of the new gym at the elementary school. Once the panels are placed, they’re very low maintenance, setting Oak Grove up for success in the future.
These panels will be able to generate power year-round, and will save on utility costs in the long run.
Thank you to our friends at Holsen Solar for helping bring this project to life, and to our anonymous donor who made this possible.
