The Solar School of the Month is Gallagher Middle School in Cleveland Ohio!
The Solar Celebration took place on June 1st. The local TV station and the local newspaper were there; a number of local government officials and elected officials also came. We are getting the news out that solar electricity can work..even in Ohio..even on a rainy day...and you couldn't find a day with more rain than June 1st. It is a 1 kW system and information about how much electricity is being generated will be on the Web soon. For more details, go to Gallagher Middle School's virtual schoolhouse at SolarSchools.com.
