IES Donates Solar to Local School

Independent Energy Solutions recently donated eight 208-watt photovoltaic modules to the Warner Springs Outdoor Academic Experience, a program designed to teach environmental science through hands-on activities.

Outside laboratories are set up to provide students all over San Diego County with real-world learning experiences. The panels will be installed on top of the new goat barn to provide lighting and heating for newborn goats and sheep.

Students will learn the importance of alternative energy, learn to calculate energy usage, and pass on the information they have learned to other students.

Troy Strand, executive vice president of Independent Energy Solutions, presented the solar panels to Cindy Magill, Warner School Board president, and Sherri Freeman, Warner science teacher.
