Gregory the Great School: San Diego Commercial Solar Power
St. Gregory the Great in the Miramar Ranch North community of San Diego opened in 1985 and the parish school opened in 2009, making it a much newer addition to the San Diego County Catholic Diocese.
The school and church are located in two separate buildings, so the church will receive a solar power system installed on a carport and the school will receive a roof-mounted solar panel array. Construction is slated to begin in April or May 2017.
When installed, the combined solar energy systems will help save Gregory the Great more than $1.4 million over the first 25 years of going solar.
On average, each year a solar energy system this size will:
- Generate 95,507 to 127,342 kilowatt hours of clean renewable solar power.
- Avoid the creation of 157,904 pounds of harmful carbon dioxide released into our air.
- Provide the system owner with $28,015 in Solar Power Savings.
