The system was activated on Jan. 5 as part of CEC’s Solarize Nonprofit program solarizenonprofit.org. The Solarize Nonprofit pilot program is designed to help local nonprofits go solar and run off renewable energy without an upfront cost.
Santa Barbara Middle School took care that the installation process was non-invasive, and historic care of the building was at the forefront of the project. The public view of the solar panels is mostly hidden, which ensures continued appreciation of the building’s architectural beauty.
SBMS thanks the CEC, Asteri Solar, California Solar Electric and Southern California Edison. Thanks also to Will Fredericks, Facilities Manager at Santa Barbara Middle School.
