In 2020, Argos Community Schools installed a 225-kilowatt rooftop solar array with more than 630 panels, as well as four power inverters and a 65-kW natural gas microturbine. The project was born out of a need to be more efficient and better stewards of the local taxpayers’ money.

In addition to the financial savings, the project will also create teachable moments for K-12 students, which will eventually include green energy vocational courses at Argos Jr/Sr High School.
