“Nexamp,” a renewable energy solutions company anticipates its completion of solar panel installations in several schools in Acton, Massachusetts. The latest project was completed at R.J. Grey Junior School where they completed the establishment of solar panel on the roof top.

A total of 506 panels have been planned to be established in various schools. While the entire project would take five to six weeks for its completion, the company expects the installations to be up and running by early January. Once the solar panels gets installed on the roof tops of several schools, the next project scheduled to start by summer would be at Douglas Elementary School.
According to J.D. Head, the school district’s director of facilities and transportation, said that the cost saving measure which they are trying to implement would be in effect instantly.
Once the project completes, the town of Acton could expect half a million kilowatt hours of clear energy. He also mentioned about his interest towards the installation of solar panels in the Forest Road Highway shed.

The solar panels would be accountable for at least one-third  of the school’s energy needs. This would also contribute towards a huge savings of minimum $7,000 from the regional school’s first year budget system and further $4,000 towards the budget of Acton Public School.
These solar panels will be leased by the schools on a contractual basis. Initially, a 20-year contract will be placed, with an option of extending it to further 5 more years in co-operation with” Nexamp” who will maintain its ownership and maintenance of the systems, this will enable the school to only pay for the power they use.  Thereby, the organization’s using this power find it inexpensive as regular electricity  which costs 19 cents per kilowatt/hour would just cost 8 cents per kilowatt/hour which means a great savings.
The funding of the solar energy establishment is headed by the state through its program called “Commonwealth Solar Program,” hence the school does not get involved in its investment.

The solar panels have been installed in such a way in order to maximize its productivity. It faces the south which allows it to gain maximum sunlight , allowing it to acquire direct current (DC) power from the sun which directs it into the inverter converting the power into alternative current.
The solar energy mission comes after many decision towards achieving energy from renewable sources. Recent achievements of this company were installations of high-efficiency condensation boilers in place of elementary school boilers and enrolling the campus in a special electrical program with the regions local power grid.
