Lincoln High School Exploring Solar Power

Lincoln High School is exploring stepping into relatively uncharted waters for a school district.
 
Superintendent Bob Bagby explains they are exploring adding solar panels to the roof of their faciltiy. He says first they need to do some roof work but it will come with significant savings.
 
 
The High School would likely go to a 65% capacity of solar energy. Bagby indicates the big win is that there is no cost to the school district.
 
 
Bagby also points out he has a colleague that was in Farmington where they started this project. He says the review from their try at solar energy was very successful.
 
 
Bagby indicates they have explored the possibility of going 100% solar but isn't sure how that would work. He says space for the solar panels becomes an issue and placing them in places around the property would create an issue of appearance of the property.
