SOLAR FOR ALL SCHOOLS

Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania has one of the largest public education systems in the United States, serving more than 1.7 million students. Bringing solar energy to Pennsylvania schools would have a positive impact on a generation of future leaders.

Generation180’s campaign is working to ensure that all Pennsylvania schools can access the benefits of going solar, including reduced energy bills, enhanced STEM education, workforce development, and healthier communities.

Speak up for the Solar for Schools Grant Program

The House of Representatives overwhelmingly supported the Solar for Schools Grant program (HB 1032). This fall the legislation will move to the Senate. Let’s empower schools to reduce their energy costs, provide hands-on learning and job training opportunities, and foster energy independence and resilience through a state-funded grant program.
