Standard Solar, Inc., a MACo Silver Corporate Partner, recently announced that a solar project is currently under construction for the Cecil County Public Schools and will be completed by the end of the year.

The Cecil County Public Schools site will feature more than 7,500 solar panels which will be installed in a ground mounted array at the Cecil County School of Technology in North East, MD. The system will produce up to 2.5 megawatts direct current. This is equivalent to greenhouse gas emissions of 4 tons of carbon dioxide, or 3,851 pounds of coal burned, or 1.3 tons of waste sent to landfills. The system will provide approximately 92 percent of Cecil County's Board of Education's six building electricity load. (Read more)
