North Stafford High School, in collaboration with Madison Energy Infrastructure (MEI), has launched Virginia's largest school solar array. The 1.8-megawatt rooftop system will produce 54 million kilowatt hours of renewable energy over 25 years, cutting carbon dioxide emissions by 41,583 tons. This initiative is set to save the school approximately $2.8 million in electricity costs.
Beyond financial and environmental benefits, the solar array offers educational opportunities for students through MEI's Solar Empowered Schools curriculum, integrating real-time data into their energy and science lessons. This project underscores Virginia's commitment to renewable energy, as the state ranks ninth in the U.S. for cumulative rooftop solar capacity in schools.
