About Solar for Students
If you drive past Colonial Heights Middle School, you may notice solar panels on the front left of the building. This 1.2 kilowatt solar system was recently installed as part of the Solar for Students program. This program is part of the National Energy Education Development Project (NEED) and is supported by Dominion Energy. According to the Solar for Students program, it “provides students the chance to observe and learn firsthand about harnessing solar energy from a solar array.” In addition, they provide participating teachers with educational materials and training. This grant was made possible by 6th Grade Science teacher Debbie Robinson.
