Solar-power Project Debuts at Local Middle School

The Bakersfield Californian

Sierra Middle School on Thursday unveiled its $200,000 solar power system courtesy of a PG&E grant that will power about 20 classrooms, lower the campus’ overall energy bill and will be used as a catalyst for “green” education.

The school also celebrated its new title — “California Solar Schools Model” — the first in PG&E’s Solar School Program that teaches the value of renewable energy and energy efficiency at 125 campuses throughout California.
