According to the Globe and Mail yesterday, approximately 450 schools will have their roofs repaired and fitted with solar panels by AMP Solar Limited. At their peak the panels could produce up to 66 megawatts of green energy a year – enough to meet the needs of 6000 average Toronto households! After the company recovers the cost of the roof repairs, the TDSB will collect 14.5 per cent of the energy revenue.
Hooray for the TDSB for not just for going solar, but for providing an example to our children of a mutually beneficial green choice in action.
