Bridges Elementary solar array completed, furnishes 50 percent of electricity


Sauk Prairie Solar Schools, a community group of solar enthusiasts who share the goal of bringing solar energy to the Sauk Prairie School District, is pleased to announce the completion of their second project. A 200kW solar array has been installed on Bridges Elementary School by Westphal & Company. The 407 solar panels will produce 50% (235,385 kWh) of Bridges’ consumption of electricity annually for the next 30 years. Sauk Prairie Solar Schools provided ​one third of the cost of this project through grants and generous donations from ​the Sauk Prairie community. Watch for upcoming news of the next fundraising campaign for ​the Sauk Prairie Solar Schools third solar project.
