This unique 32kW solar outdoor classroom is the second solar installation at Summit Elementary School.

​

This 60-panel project is currently under construction and fully funded. ​Structures like this can provide shade and shelter for outdoor class time, which is especially important at this location since it is the La Crosse School District’s environmental-themed elementary school. Unlike traditional rooftop solar arrays, an outdoor solar canopy allows students to visually see the panels at work.

Thank you to everyone who donated!
