SunPower installed solar power systems at 16 Oakland Unified School District (OUSD) schools in California that are expected to significantly reduce the district's annual electricity costs over the next 25 years or more. Additionally, SunPower is bringing the math and science behind the solar technology into the classroom in the form of curriculum that helps prepare students for careers in the clean energy economy.

SunPower installed 3.6 megawatts of systems at the 16 schools, using SunPower solar panels, the most efficient and reliable panels on the market today. The panels are installed on building rooftops as well as solar carports in school parking lots, taking advantage of underutilized space and providing needed shade. The systems were funded through general obligation bonds secured by the district.
