Solar for all Schools in Pennsylvania
Generation 180 recently launched a new campaign to help Pennsylvania schools access the benefits of solar. Today, we are thrilled to share with you our new report, Powering a Brighter Future In Pennsylvania, about solar adoption by K-12 schools in the state. One key finding is that solar has doubled in Pennsylvania’s K-12 schools since 2020 – representing a huge win for parents, advocates, and most of all – students.
Our report includes a comprehensive study on solar at K-12 schools statewide; it includes the latest data on schools and districts with solar, methods of financing, case studies of recent solar school projects, and more.
Headline findings include:
- Both the number of K-12 schools that have embraced solar power and the total installed solar capacity at schools grew by more than 2.5x since 2018,
- 2% of schools (108 total) and 8% of school districts (38 total) have gone solar, and
- 5% of K-12 students (nearly 90,000) attend a school with solar.
Read the report to find benefits for Pennsylvania schools, a list of the top school districts for solar, solar success stories, and more.
