Will installing solar panels on the roof of Rutland High School create enough energy to decrease the school's energy costs and help the environment? Also, will the infrastructure allow for it?
________________________________________
What questions will help us figure this out?
How much energy would these panels produce?
How much energy does our school use?
How much money would this save us on energy costs in the future?
How much fossil fuel would this clean energy take the place of?
How feasible is this for us to do?
Can the school infrastructure handle it?
What problems might I run into when going about this?
Is there a law preventing this?

About me:
My name is Maricate Mangan and I am a senior at Rutland High School. I am currently taking a STEM Capstone class, which focuses on research along with implementing a project or "action plan" to help better the community. My hope is to create a more energy efficient school by utilizing solar panels on the rooftop of our school building, and maybe even adding in some solar lamp posts. If this works out, it can help the environment an even our school budget by saving us money on electricity.
