Expansion of NYSERDA's School Power...Naturally Program

Under the new School Power...Naturally™ program, several organizations and companies have contracts to upgrade the current program to include teaching tools for wind energy along with the development of data resources, expanded marketing and outreach to teacher and school districts, maintenance for installed PV systems, and general outreach and awareness.  NESEA is excited to be a part this endeavor through its Solar Sails New York program.
