ABOUT

In December of 1999, Reilly School became the first Chicago Public School to have solar electric (photovoltaic) panels installed on its roof. The system delivers electricity to the school every day, more on sunny days and less on cloudy days. The school has a computer in its front hall that displays the amount of energy the photovoltaic (PV) system is generating at the moment and throughout the previous months. Students at Reilly learn about alternative sources of energy such as solar as part of an innovative environmental education program at the school.
