Long Island school district OKs $1.2M solar panels
http://breakingnews.nypost.com/dynamic/stories/N/NY_SCHOOL_SOLAR_PANELS_BAOL-?SITE=NYNYP
SMITHTOWN, N.Y. (AP) -- Some Long Island schools are getting a massive installation of solar panels.
The panel systems are part of a $6 million energy conservation project approved by the Smithtown school board last month. They'll cost $1.2 million. They'll be installed at 10 of 14 school buildings in the district.
The Long Island Power Authority says 16 local school districts have installed solar panels or will install them soon.
The Smithtown solar panel system is estimated to pay for itself with energy savings within five years. It should be installed by the end of the year and should last 25 years.
The district plans to spend the rest of the $6 million on other energy savers such as incandescent bulbs and replacement windows.
