In October, 2010, Metamora Township High School in central Illinois installed 64 solar panels in 8 arrays near the school track and football field. The live data feed gives information about the generation, the weather, and the environmental offsets. The school estimates that the solar panels will produce 8% - 10% of the school’s energy needs.
