clean energy partner? k-12 schools

 Why do schools make a prime target for clean energy partnerships? Schools use a lot of energy and sit on a lot of land. Across the U.S. that’s 2 million acres and 9% of all commercial building energy use. The kicker: schools are also commonly used as evacuation centers. Thusly, adding solar panels with battery storage can ensure that they maintain power and light, heating or cooling, when power grids fail.
