Ellwood School Goes Solar

Ellwood Elementary just went solar—making it the third Goleta Union school to harness clean energy after a decade-long push fueled by the 2020 Measure M bond. Since 2010, the district has turned vision into reality, installing panels that now generate over 27,000 kWh monthly—saving 32 barrels of oil and $2 million in electricity over 20 years. Thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act, they’re getting $1.2 million back. Bonus? Cooler lunchtime shade for students. Next up: the district office, going solar June 29th to power a third of the district’s needs. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
