Northside Middle School and Taylorsville Elementary Bartholomew County School Corporation

Bartholomew County School Corporation chose R.E. Dimond and Associates to design solar systems for two of their schools: The Northside Middle School which features a 300 kW, 1008 module roof-mounted solar photovoltaic PV system, and the Taylorsville Elementary School which features a 200 kW, 672 module roof-mounted solar photovoltaic PV system.

Over a one-year period, the Northside Middle School PV system generated 454 KW which offset energy costs by $45,400, and the Taylorsville Elementary School PV system generated 249 KW which offset energy costs by $24,900. The schools incorporated the solar monitoring system in a school-wide program that compliments their STEM education curriculum.
