Charles Suppon, COO of Tunkhannock Area School District, is spearheading plans for a significant solar installation across the district's facilities. This initiative not only addresses the district's need for renewable energy but also aims to save up to $1 million annually, funds that can be reinvested into student programs. The project also links to educational opportunities in solar technology, complementing the district's existing hands-on training programs for various trades. Success is contingent on securing over $1 million from the state's Solar for Schools program, which is currently in its first year.
"We're a smaller school district doing big things."
"It was always a financial decision. We wanted to be able to offset our energy costs, produce our own energy, and only pay distribution [fees] back to the grid."
