WISCONSIN – Wisconsin schools are increasingly going
solar, thanks in part to the Midwest Renewable Energy Association’s
(MREA) Solar on Schools initiative. In the program’s first year alone,
11 grants were awarded to Wisconsin schools. These projects have

350 passenger vehicles. By going solar, these schools are able to offset
energy costs that can be reinvested into school programming. These
investments also provide a unique opportunity to expose students to
careers in the growing clean energy industry by incorporating live solar
energy tracking into STEM curriculum. Grant recipients include:
