PHOENIX–(BUSINESS WIRE)–REC
Solar, a leader in solar system design and installation, today
announced the completion of solar installations totaling 3.5MW on twelve
Arizona public schools. The systems, which were developed and installed
by REC Solar, will provide enough power to reduce the schools’
electricity bills by up to 20 percent while also offering educational
opportunities for K-12 students.

information about how much money the school is saving on its electric
bill. Teachers can access the data and create lessons plans around how
electricity is produced and used. REC Solar was chosen to develop
systems at the following schools:
