A Bella Energy 100 kilowatt solar system on Kent Denver School provides clean, renewable energy while teaching students about environmental stewardship.
Kent Denver is a private college preparatory middle/high school in South Denver that strives to build a community of responsible citizens.
The 100 kilowatt self-ballasted solar system is flat roof-mounted on the science buildings, producing more than 135,000 kilowatt hours of electricity per year for over 20 years, with fixed costs per kilowatt at a time when Colorado electricity costs are increasing at roughly 7% per year.
“This unique financial model allows us to take advantage of renewable energy incentives not usually available to non-profit institutions.” said Todd Horn, Head of School.
Their new solar system project is the result of a partnership between Bella Energy and Conergy, a leading supplier of renewable energy technology. The system produces clean, renewable energy helping Xcel Energy meet the renewable energy goals required by Colorado voters.
