Wellwood Middle School is a part of the Fayetteville-Manlius School District, located in the southeastern part of Syracuse. In July 2010, the Board of Education signed a performance contract and began installing solar panels as a part of the F-M District’s “Green Initiative.” Wellwood Middle School has an impressive 50kW PV system on their roof that has saved them an immense amount in energy costs. The F-M District’s High School and Elementary Schools also have solar systems that help with energy production. With all of the schools combined, an estimated 791,212 pounds of carbon emissions has been reduced in one year.
During the Explore Our Energy Tour event, the students will escort interested groups up to the 3rd floor to see the solar array, and to the electric converter located in the 5th grade wing. Inside the building, a PV cell will be on display and a movie explaining how it works will be on loop for those who are interested in seeing how the solar array works.
The students and faculty are all very proud of their green projects, and are excited to share them with you!
