SunEdison Begins Solar Project Construction For 8 Schools In Maryland

SunEdison, Inc. announced that it has begun construction on a 2.8 megawatt (MW) solar project for eight schools in the Montgomery County Public School system in Maryland. The eight solar power plants are expected to deliver approximately $200,000 of savings per year at current utility rates. The systems are projected to generate enough electricity each year to power more than 260 homes and avoid the emission of more than 5 million pounds of carbon dioxide, the equivalent of removing 500 cars from the road. 

 
“SunEdison has a long and successful track record helping school districts across the U.S. save money with solar,” said Steve Raeder, SunEdison’s managing director of its Eastern U.S. commercial and industrial business. “This is our second consecutive project with the Montgomery County Public School system and we’re honored to have earned their business again.”
