MAINE SCHOOL ENERGY PROJECTS GETTING STARTED
Solar panels are noticeable features on a school building, which fosters community pride and communicates that the district is committed to a clean, sustainable, energy-independent future.

In my view, it would be much better if the decision to install solar arrays at schools were done at an entire-state level. Doing so would reduce bureaucracy, reduce overall project costs, reduce time and
The primary objectives of the Solar-Powered Schools project are as follows: Install solar panels on school buildings and facilities to generate clean and sustainable energy. Educate students and staff
This guide provides essential best practices for implementing solar energy systems in schools, from evaluating site suitability and securing funding to navigating regulatory requirements.
Learn why schools use solar energy to reduce costs, improve sustainability, and enrich STEM learning. This guide covers the financial benefits, installation process, and how to secure
After the school or school board selects the proposal that best reflects the criteria in the evaluative framework, the successful contractor is responsible for designing, installing and commissioning the
Discover how school-based solar power systems reduce costs while creating hands-on STEM learning opportunities for students across all grade levels.
Students use visual, scientific simulations to explore the apparent movement and angles of the Sun, the distribution of solar energy on building surfaces, and the conversion of solar energy to electric energy
In partnership with architecture and engineering firm Fanning Howey, the district began construction of a 50-kilowatt solar photovoltaic system in the summer of 2017. The installation
Deploys solar + energy storage on all or most schools in the State. Reduces school operating costs, creating resources for teachers and students. Secures IRA tax credits to fund 30%, 50%, or more of
