Education for a Brighter Future
The PG&E Solar Schools Program, now in its third year, focuses on public schools in underserved communities within the PG&E service area in Central and Northern California. Through this program, teachers and administrators from eligible schools may apply for grants to support their involvement in the following areas:
- » Installation of a solar generation system for the school's educational use. This year, twenty schools will be selected to receive these systems at no cost.
- » A solar-based curriculum training package.
- » "Bright Ideas" grants. This year, PG&E will award local schools grants of $2,500 and $5,000 to solar science projects.
PG&E is partnering with leaders in the education sector and the solar industry to deliver the resources associated with this program. The National Energy Education Project (NEED) manages curriculum training and administration of the "Bright Ideas" grants; the Foundation for Environmental Education coordinates installation of the donated photovoltaic systems.
