Green energy developer and provider Bullfrog Power and Beach Community Energy Co-operative (BCEC) had a public launch September 10 of a new solar project on the roof of Kew Beach Junior Public School in Toronto's The Beach neighbourhood.
Solar panels mounted on the roof of the school will create a 225-panel, 72 kW installation that, in combination with the school's existing solar installation, will generate and inject to the local grid the equivalent of one third of the school's annual electricity use. That electricity will be sold back to the grid with a portion of the funds being used to support green initiatives, such as eco-activities within the school and community, in order to fulfill its project's unique educational and service mission.
