Recently, a grid-tied solar system was installed on campus to power Woody Malot’s physics class room. Funding is a combination of a grant from our parents association, the Gap Connection, and a grant from current parent, Tom Quigley. The system is currently a 500-watt system with room to grow to 3500-watts. It is designed, built, and monitored by the students in ESP (Environmental Stewardship Program). Mr. Malot will use the data from the panels for labs in both the concepts of physics class and the AP physics class. A goal is to install other types of panels in the future to compare panel efficiency and develop a model of what works well here at RGNS

The panels have been up and working well. Come by and check out the system. I am happy to answer questions anyone may have. Also, if you are free after school, we are starting a new ethanol fuel still. I am also looking for volunteers for the next ethanol workshop the end of March
We're working on getting a chart of the KW hours for one month posted on the blog!! Look out!
