Why the district went solar

Tamaqua Area School District is in the borough of Tamaqua, Pennsylvania. It has more than 2,100 students and covers about 180 square miles.

The project's 6,132 bifacial (two-sided) solar panels stand in two ground-mounted arrays. They were built to give students a way to learn about renewable energy. The district also expects them to bring significant cost savings.

The contract: a power service agreement (PSA)

The Tamaqua Area School District arrays run under a power service agreement. SRE sets up each project one of three ways: owning it outright, a power service agreement or a power purchase agreement. Each is built around the client's tax position.
