Daniels Middle School To Host Solar Pilot Program

Tomorrow morning Daniels Middle School will officially unveil a set of new solar photovoltaic arrays. The $20,000, 2-KW solar PV system is connected to the school’s electrical system and to internet-based monitoring equipment. This will enable students to study the panels’ electricity.

The SunSense schools program is part of a partnership between Progress Energy Carolinas and the Carolina Hurricanes Kids ’N Community Foundation. It provides a hands-on educational program for middle school and high school students that encourages them to develop innovative energy solutions. Daniels Middle School is one of five winning schools across the Carolinas that received PV arrays and educational materials to help teachers integrate renewable energy learning opportunities into the classroom.
