The installations will include more than 6600 solar panels at Pleasant Valley High, Chico High, Marsh Junior High, Chapman Elementary and the District?s corporate yard. The five sites comprise one of the largest commercial solar projects in Chico and are expected to produce more than 2 million kWh of electricity annually. SolarCity will finance, install, own and maintain the District?s five solar power systems, while the District will pay for the power they produce through a 20-year power purchase agreement.
