Pittwater High School
Our company has recently installed the solar power system for Pittwater High School in Sydney. Pittwater High has taken an active stand on the issue of global warming and climate change and has made a commitment to work towards becoming a zero carbon emitter. They have taken this because they believe that the only way to ensure that their students have a sustainable future is to take action now and show our communities and our nation that a zero ecological footprint approach is possible and indeed necessary in the medium term for the sustainability of all human activities.
Their immediate goal is to set up a small start-up solar panel power system (25-30 panels) which was installed by Australia Wide Solar in February 2008 and build on this by 200 - 250 panels each year. Our calculations indicate that if Pittwater High was totally reliant on renewable energy they would save 775 kg of CO2 emissions each week or 275 tonnes per year - placing an additional 250 panels per year would save approximately 100 kg of CO2 emissions per week.
