US High School Goes Green

The first Louisiana high school has taken steps to build green. Warren Easton Charter High School added a hurricane-proof photovoltaic solar system. This is also the largest solar installation in New Orleans. This installation represents the cities commitment to sustainability.

The photovoltaic solar system is 28 kW and will produce 37 kWh of electricity every year. It is projected to save Warren Easton Charter High School $4,000. Through the installation, the city hopes to inspire students to aspire to careers in math and science. The system will serve the students as a representation of sustainability and teach them at a young age the importance of clean energy. It gives teachers a physical representation as they teach about environmental sustainability.
