"Through the Energy Savings Improvement Program, the District was able to use the savings from solar and other projects to fund over $14 million in school facility improvements." "By taking a holistic perspective on facilities, the District was able to install solar at all 10 schools in Union," said Dan Riggle, Program Manager for Schneider Electric. According to Schneider Electric, the District's Energy Services Company, these solar projects will result in over $5.6 million in savings over the life of the systems. The more than 6,700 solar modules at Union schools will produce 3.5 million kilowatts of electricity annually, replacing about 74% of the schools' annual electrical use with clean, renewable energy. "Projects like these, where we can help townships and school districts move forward in their efforts to save money on energy and improve their environmental impact, are some of the most rewarding projects we take on." "Pfister Energy is excited to have been involved in the deployment of solar energy solutions for the schools in the Township of Union," said Wayne Pfisterer, President of Pfister. Washington Elementary School (62.10 kW).Livingston Elementary School (89.10 kW).Hannah Caldwell Elementary School (455.40 kW).Connecticut Farms Elementary School (179.10 kW).Battle Hill Elementary School (169.20 kW).Jefferson Elementary School / Central Five (146.70 kW).Pfister installed rooftop solar at all ten Union Township schools and solar canopies at Union High School (over the north parking lot) and Hannah Caldwell Elementary School (two canopies over the existing parking lot). Greenskies partnered with Pfister Energy, a top commercial solar developer and engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contractor based in Hawthorne, New Jersey. "School systems are increasingly using savings from solar energy to fund everything from facility upgrades to supplementing budget cuts. "Greenskies is excited to support the Union Township Public Schools with their efforts to improve environmental impact and reduce operating costs," said Stanley Chin, President and CEO of Greenskies. The energy generated by these projects is expected to offset 74% of the schools' annual electrical use, resulting in over $370,000 in annual energy cost savings. Greenskies Clean Focus, a national leader in renewable energy solutions, has completed ten solar systems totaling 3 megawatts (MW) for the Township of Union Public Schools.
