Tuscarora School District – a midsized, rural, public school district located in Franklin County, Pennsylvania – and RER Energy celebrate the operation of a combined 1,999 KW Solar array system at Mountain View Elementary School and James Buchanan High School.

RER Energy, a commercial solar company, designed, developed and installed a solar ground array at Mountain View Elementary School and a rooftop array at James Buchanan High School. The installations will offset approximately 1,775 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent annually, the same amount as removing 385 cars from the road for a year.

The West Penn Power Sustainable Energy Fund (WPPSEF) was a project financing partner that facilitated the construction of the Tuscarora School District solar project. “This co-funding will allow the school district to lower its carbon footprint and will allow the students to gain first-hand experience on solar power” said Joel Morrison Fund Administrator. “We hope this project will serve as a model for other school districts in Pennsylvania”.

“We applaud Tuscarora School District for stepping up their initiative to renewable energy.” said Jim Kurtz, President RER Energy. “This fuel source is free, inexhaustible and clean and provides the lowest cost of electricity over time.”
