IDEA Academy HQ
Project Overview
A new solar roof is helping IDEA Public Schools go green and save money in Weslaco. A 1,072-panel, 364.48-kilowatt solar array on the rooftop of IDEA Public Schools’ campus in South Texas.
The Pre-K-12 public charter school recently installed a solar project that covers the roof of its educational facility.
The solar installation will provide the IDEA Public Schools headquarters with electricity from sunlight and save the company tens of thousands of dollars on power bills.
The new solar roof will produce over 500,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity each year — the equivalent to nearly 75% of the school’s needs.
The system was funded in part by a $100,000 grant from the Green Mountain Energy Sun Club.
‟Axis Solar is honored to be selected as the installation firm for yet another project in partnership with Green Mountain Energy and the Sun Club. This system is one of the largest in the Valley, and will provide IDEA Public Schools with 25+ years of savings and carbon reduction.
