During the morning of April 19, Off Grid by Design donated and installed a one kilowatt solar panel system at Falling Creek Middle. The solar panel was installed along the bus loop, just behind the school’s garden. It will offer hands-on learning about the green power industry. The clean, renewable energy from the solar panel will power a recharging station for student Chromebooks and will recharge 12-volt batteries used with underwater robotics vehicles. Also, the solar panel will be linked to the school’s digital kiosk that records different types of information, so that students can understand the amount of energy generated from the sun.
