Within the next 12 months, the CBE anticipates the installation of new solar photovoltaic (PV) panel systems on nine additional schools.
在接下来的12个月内，CBE预计在另外九所学校安装新的太阳能光伏（PV）面板系统。

前五个项目-被高木学校、参议员帕特里克·伯恩斯、Dr. E.W. Coffin、Chinook Park和Midnapore学校学生昵称为“Good Day Sunshine”-每年将产生60兆瓦时（MWh）的电量，并抵消约38吨二氧化碳排放。
所有这些发电项目都是由CBE和加拿大领先的绿色能源供应商Bullfrog Power共同资助的。这五所学校渴望将太阳能系统数据纳入他们令人印象深刻的环境和能源知识项目中。
「参议员帕特里克·伯恩斯学校」校长Marlene Krickhan表示：“让学生参与解决发电和计算学校电力消耗量、成本和来源以及负责任地处理废物等实际问题，体现了科学学习计划的本质。学生们以这种方式参与环境保护，将终身受益，发展环境保护技能，是展示对环境负责的最佳方式。”
参议员帕特里克·伯恩斯学校的八年级学生Cayden如是说：
「通过我的科学老师和参与环保俱乐部，我学到了很多关于如何更加聪明和意识到能源来源以及如何节约能源的知识。我也知道我们不应该对任何事情视为理所当然。许多其他国家未能如我们拥有同样规模的电力供应。我们拥有大量的能源，但应该为其他人保留一些。」
在更大的范围上，即将成为我们最大的四个光伏系统正在
这四个系统将共同每年发电约1,165兆瓦时，抵消745吨二氧化碳排放。Nelson Mandela PV系统已经完成并开始发电，Joane Cardinal-Schubert系统正在建设中，而James Fowler和Lord Beaverbrook系统从设计转入施工。
这九所学校将大大提高CBE的光伏发电组合的价值。一旦完成，这些系统每年将共发电1,340兆瓦时，相当于CBE总电能消耗的1.7％。这种无碳、可再生能源发电将抵消850吨二氧化碳排放。
除了在2019年底成为卡尔加里最大的太阳能发电厂之一，CBE还将拥有28所学校为学生提供更多机会，以获得心态，技能和知识，为社会、环境和经济可持续发展做出贡献。
兆瓦是一个用于测量功率的单位，相当于一百万瓦特。一兆瓦等于10辆汽车发动机产生的能量。兆瓦时（MWh）等于1,000千瓦时（KWh）。这意味着连续使用1,000千瓦的电力一小时。它大约相当于约330个家庭在一小时内使用的电量。（来源：cleanenergyauthority.com）
Within the next 12 months, the CBE anticipates the installation of new solar photovoltaic (PV) panel systems on nine additional schools.
The first five projects – nicknamed “Good Day Sunshine” by students at Highwood, Senator Patrick Burns, Dr. E. W. Coffin, Chinook Park and Midnapore schools – will generate 60 megawatt hours (MWh) per year and offset about 38 tonnes of CO2 emissions.
All of these power projects are jointly funded by the CBE and Bullfrog Power, Canada’s leading green energy provider. These five schools are eager to integrate the solar system data into their impressive environmental and energy literacy initiatives.
“Engaging students in solving real-world challenges like generating our own solar energy, calculating total energy usage, costs and sources for running a school, and managing waste responsibly, personifies the science program of studies,” says Marlene Krickhan, principal at Senator Patrick Burns School. “There is no better way for students to demonstrate competencies in environmental stewardship, in a manner that will resonate with them for the rest of their lives, than to engage in environmental matters related to their own school building.”
Grade 8 student Cayden, at Senator Patrick Burns School, had this to say:
“From my Science teachers and from participating in the Environment Club, I have learned a lot about how to become smarter and more aware of energy sources and how to conserve energy. I also know we should not take anything for granted. Many other countries do not have access to electricity in the same amounts as we do. We have access to so much energy but should save some for others.”
On a grander scale, what will soon become our four largest PV systems are underway at Lord Beaverbrook, James Fowler, Nelson Mandela and Joane Cardinal-Schubert high schools. This work is part of the Alberta government’s Solar Technology System program which fully funds PV systems up to 350 kilowatts (KW) per school.
Together, these four systems will generate an estimated 1,165 MWh per year and offset 745 tonnes of CO2 emissions. The Nelson Mandela PV system is already completed and generating power, the Joane Cardinal-Schubert system is under construction and the James Fowler and Lord Beaverbrook systems are moving from design to construction.
These nine schools will significantly increase the value of CBE’s PV generation portfolio, which once completed, will generate a total of 1,340 MWh per year or 1.7 percent of CBE’s total electrical energy consumption. This carbon-free, renewable energy generation will offset 850 tonnes of annual CO2 emissions.
In addition to being one of the largest producers of solar energy in Calgary by the end of 2019, the CBE will have 28 schools providing students with enhanced opportunities to acquire the attitudes, skills and knowledge to contribute to a socially, environmentally and economically sustainable society.
A megawatt is a unit for measuring power that is equivalent to one million watts. One megawatt is equivalent to the energy produced by 10 automobile engines. A megawatt hour (MWh) is equal to 1,000 Kilowatt hours (KWh). That means it is equal to 1,000 kilowatts of electricity used continuously for one hour. It is about equivalent to the amount of electricity used by about 330 homes during one hour. (source: cleanenergyauthority.com)
