IMSA using solar panels:
DH 9/03/09
The Illinois Math and Science Academy in Aurora has offset 759 pounds of carbon dioxide in 85 days with its newly installed solar panels. The panels are part of the IMSA Energy Center. The largest panel has generated enough energy to run 14 homes, 1,341 regular light bulbs and 443 computers for one day. Other initiatives at the center include small wind energy projects, alternative biofuels and kindergarten through eighth grade energy-related curricula. The projects were made possible through the IMSA Fund for Advancement of Education and a $23,500 grant from ComEd.
