Solar Panels on School Roofs?

Students at many Toronto public schools will see something different on their school roofs starting next spring: solar panels.

The Toronto District School Board has made a deal with green energy company AMP Solar Group to install the panels on up to 450 school rooftops. The solar panels will generate around 60 megawatts of energy every year. That’s enough to power almost 6,000 households.

Solar energy is a “clean” alternative to energy sources like coal and natural gas that pollute the environment. The energy generated from these solar panels means less energy has to be generated in ways that aren’t as environmentally friendly.

The TDSB is the first school board to do this, but wouldn’t it be cool if all our schools could be this green?
