We are working on how to use that data to do more with the students.”Īccording to NC GreenPower, the systems prevented 359,803 pounds of coal from burning, the equivalent of taking 31 houses off the grid for a year. “We actually have data we could use to analyze also," Barry said. STEM Academy Coordinator and science teacher Shane Barry said students are able to collect the data generated from the solar array system to better understand the processes of solar energy. "They are commercial grade modules, with 20% efficiency – rated among the highest efficiency modules on the market and are expected to show very little degradation over the next 20 to 30 years."
“The solar panels were donated to NC GreenPower by one of our partners, SunPower," said Katie Lebrato, Marketing Communications Director. This year, NC GreenPower will award 15 schools in North Carolina a grant to install a solar array system on the school's property along with $14,000 in additional benefits and a STEM curriculum with instruction. Now, Athens Drive Magnet High School is generating enough energy to power the school’s office. “Fall of my junior year, I kind of had a goal to get solar panels on Athens Drive.“ “One of the things that is always fascinating to me is solar energy and renewable energy,” Nociti said.
