St. Albans Town Educational Center (SATEC) is Going Solar.
SunCommon Installs 2000+ Panels on St. Albans School
St. Albans Town Educational Center (SATEC) is shifting to solar power. With the help of SunCommon, Vermont’s largest solar company based out of Waterbury, SATEC is going solar with a 640 kW solar array on the rooftop of the school.The 2,089 panel solar array, producing enough electricity to power 100 local homes, will fully offset the school’s electricity needs, and then some. Upon completion of the solar array later this summer, SATEC will be net-positive meaning the school produces more power than it needs. SATEC will share the excess solar credits with neighboring BFA to reduce their energy costs.JTNDaWZyYW1lJTIwc3JjJTNEJTIyaHR0cHMlM0ElMkYlMkZwbGF5ZXIudmltZW8uY29tJTJGdmlkZW8lMkYyMzY1OTg0NzQlMjIlMjB3aWR0aCUzRCUyMjk2MCUyMiUyMGhlaWdodCUzRCUyMjU0MCUyMiUyMGZyYW1lYm9yZGVyJTNEJTIyMCUyMiUyMHdlYmtpdGFsbG93ZnVsbHNjcmVlbiUyMG1vemFsbG93ZnVsbHNjcmVlbiUyMGFsbG93ZnVsbHNjcmVlbiUzRSUzQyUyRmlmcmFtZSUzRQ==
About St. Albans Town Educational Center
SATEC is a PK-8th grade school in the Maple Run Unified School District with approximately 750 students. SATEC has been focused on reducing otheir energy footprint for a number of years. They have retrofitted 90% of the lighting with high efficiency LED replacement, upgraded the air handling system for demand level control ventilation, and installed variable frequency drives to power the heating system pumps. In 2014 they received the designation as an “Energy Star School” through Efficiency Vermont. The solar project with SunCommon is another step in their efficiency and energy reduction efforts.
