Solar Power Coming to Volusia County Schools

Florida Power & Light Co. (FPL) will install power arrays at six schools in its service territory to help teach future generations about the benefits of renewable energy. Each school receiving a Next Generation Solar Education Station will be able to generate emissions-free electricity and provide students with a hands-on tool to learn how solar power works. The school chosen in Volusia County is Hinson Middle School, Daytona Beach.

Each FPL Next Generation Solar Education Station will provide 5 kW of solar electricity. The solar installations will save the schools about $800 each year in electricity costs, while giving teachers a way to focus science education on essential energy technologies of the future.
