PBS and their member stations are America’s largest classroom, the nation’s largest stage for the arts and a trusted window to the world. In addition, PBS’s educational media helps prepare children for success in school and opens up the world to them in an age-appropriate way.
Recently, k12 Energy, specializing in energy saving, solar systems for non-profits installed a 690 kilowatt solar system on the top of a mountain in northern California to enable, green solar power to run PBS towers and repeaters.
This was a $1.4 million project with a Power Purchase Agreement built at no cost to PBS. PBS purchases the green solar electricity at a much lower rate than from the utility.
K12 used a large pile driver to push steel posts into the ground so no concrete was needed.
