THE PROJECT WILL RESULT IN THE CREATION OF A FUNCTIONAL MICROGRID AT EACH PARTICIPATING SCHOOL DISTRICT. EACH MICROGRID WILL INTEGRATE SOLAR, STATIONARY STORAGE, MECHANICAL SWITCHGEAR, VEHICLE-TO-GRID (V2G) ELECTRIC VEHICLE (EV) CHARGING, AND AT LEAST 1 ELECTRIC SCHOOL BUS PER DISTRICT WITH ENERGY DISCHARGE CAPABILITIES. OUR PROJECT ANTICIPATES THE FOLLOWING INSTALLED SYSTEM CAPACITIES. • 3 SCHOOLS WITH 400 KILOWATT (KW) SOLAR ARRAYS COUPLED WITH 500-KWH (KILOWATT HOUR) STATIONARY BATTERY STORAGE • 9 SCHOOLS WITH 800 KW SOLAR ARRAYS COUPLED WITH 1,000-KILOWATT HOUR (KWH) STATIONARY BATTERY STORAGE • 3 SCHOOLS WITH 1,000 KW SOLAR ARRAYS COUPLED WITH 1,000 KWH STATIONARY BATTERY STORAGE
