Valley Solar installs one of the largest roof-mounted solar electric systems on a high school campus in North America

Sacramento, CA September 15, 2012 - Valley Solar's large project team completed the design and installation of a 530 kW photovoltaic system on the Jesuit High School campus located in Carmichael. Composed of more than 2,216 panels, and supplying 48% of the school's energy needs, the cutting edge installation is one of the largest roof top mounted systems on a high school campus in North America.

The installation was designed using new technology and mounting techniques including stronger, lighter-weight materials capable of spanning longer distances on large buildings like those found on the Jesuit High School campus. Visit the JHS Solar Meter online to see how many kW their system has generated to date including C0₂ savings.

More than just power generation, the Jesuit High School solar electric project is a statement of the school's concern for the environment, making Jesuit High School a catalyst for school campuses going green to save the environment and money in the greater Sacramento Region.

Jesuit High School of Sacramento, established in 1963, is a Catholic high school founded and run by the Society of Jesus. The school enrolls about 1,000 young men from all over the greater Sacramento Valley in California.
