Colton Joint Unified School District Colton, CA

The Colton Joint Unified School District elected to add solar carports across 28 schools that would provide an estimated energy savings of more than $35 million over 25 years. On completion, it is estimated that 73% of the District’s electricity will be provided by the carport systems with annual production of approximately 9.6 million kWh. In addition to generating power, this portfolio also includes much-needed shade for parking and shelters for students on many campuses.
