Solar Installation
Lakeville Area Schools is adding solar to help power our schools and benefit our students and community now and into the future. Lakeville Area Schools is one of 45 school districts across the state to receive grants from the Minnesota Department of Commerce Solar for Schools Program (mn.gov/solar4schools) to install solar power.
The Solar for Schools grant covers a portion of the costs for Lakeville Area Schools to install solar panels on the rooftop of the schools in their district.
Benefits of the Solar for Schools Program
- Adding solar reduces energy costs, which are the second-highest cost category for schools.
- Students will have opportunities for real-time learning about solar power and careers in the growing clean energy economy.
- Our local economy benefits from investments made in expanding our energy infrastructure, and from adding clean energy jobs, like solar installations.
- Solar power helps reduce electricity-based greenhouse gas emissions.
- Solar power adds “homegrown” renewable sources of energy to our school and the state’s electrical grid, since Minnesota currently imports 100% of its fossil fuels.
