EASTON GOES GREEN
Posted: October 01, 2009At a press conference held in the school library on September 30, Warren Easton Charter High School officials announced a new solar panel system financed by Entergy Corp. that will serve as both a source of alternative energy and an interactive learning tool for students.
The solar panel system installed on the roof of Warren Easton is the largest solar panel system in the city, according to Entergy officials. Some 208 "thin-film" adhesive solar panel strips take up approximately 3,700 square feet, or more than half of the school's rooftop, according to Entergy officials and South Coast Solar, the local installation firm that completed the job. The system is expected to produce approximately 37,000 kilowatt-hours of solar-powered electricity every year. The panels, as well as a new hurricane-resistant roof, were the result of a $500,000 grant to Warren Easton from Entergy Corp., part of the utility company's New Orleans Solar School Initiative. The overall program, financed by a $1.5 million contribution from Entergy Corp. and $150,000 from Nike Corp., will install solar panel systems on three additional New Orleans schools.
