Solar in the News

The Wall Street Journal

Solar power has long been touted for its environmental impact. But now it has a new role: saving teachers' jobs.

School districts across the country are turning to solar power to cut their electricity costs. With the money they're saving, they are able to retain more teachers and programs in the face of budget cuts. As a bonus, some schools are using solar installations to teach kids about renewable energy.
