HOPE, Ark. – The Hope Public Schools Board of Education, Entegrity Partners and community members recently gathered for a Flip the Switch ceremony to celebrate a first for Southwest Arkansas public schools: an on-site solar array.
Located across from Clinton Primary School, the 1.13 MW-DC array will offset approximately 80% of the District’s annual electrical energy consumption.
“The Board and Administration saw an opportunity to reduce utility costs and use that savings to invest in their facilities; ultimately leading to a greater learning environment for students,” said John Coleman, Regional Director of Entegrity, in a news release.
Solar production is part of the comprehensive energy savings project with Entegrity. The full scope of work, including LED lighting, water conservation, HVAC system upgrades and the array is expected to save HPS over $200k annually.
