The document describes the photovoltaic (PV) solar panel system installed at Scarsdale Middle School. The system is grid-tied, meaning it feeds electricity directly into the main power grid without batteries or a charge controller. Individual PV cells are connected into PV modules, which are connected to a kilowatt-hour meter, disconnect, inverter, and then to the main power grid. Data on energy production is collected and available online. Potential areas of study are identified, such as the system's effectiveness in Scarsdale, its impact on reducing the school and district's carbon footprint and energy bills, and how production varies with weather.
