The 500 kW solar installation completed at the Copper Ridge School incorporates 2,387 Kyocera KD210 solar modules and will generate around 775,992 kWh of clean energy every year. The power generated from the installation will meet nearly 47% of the schools energy usage. The 264 kW solar system installed over the Cholla Elementary School utilizes 1,260 Kyocera KD210 modules. The system is expected to generate around 364,000 kWh of solar power every year and will cover nearly 70% of its energy usage.
