The Greenfield School is adding solar panels.
Albert M. Greenfield School has added a a 5.33 kilowatt solar energy system, making it the first solar panel system installed on a public school roof in Philadelphia. Greenfield’s system, from Mercury Solar Systems, Inc., consists of 26 solar panels and is expected to produce 6,400 kilowatt hours every year. The environmental benefits are equivalent to recycling 103,998 cans of soda, planting 350 trees and not burning 516 gallons of gasoline.
