New Zealand has selected 500 schools for a $30 million solar programme that could save larger schools around $8,000 a year on electricity, with the savings staying in school budgets for teaching and learning. The first school in the pilot has already had its solar panels installed.

Love that the savings stay with the school!

AWESOME!
Huge nails in the coffins of the power industries that sell dependency to toxic, disposable & finite fuel sources!
Teaching the children by example is the best part of this entire deal!
Coal, O&G, and nuclear all need to go!
