Designed and constructed by Cupertino Electric, Inc. (CEI) and managed by energy advisory firm TerraVerde Renewable Partners (TVRP), the Clovis Unified School District solar system spans 21 sites and is the largest school solar system in California’s Central Valley. Constructed in four (4) phases, the 5.86 MW Clovis Unified solar system is anticipated to save the District $2.4 million annually by generating roughly 8.4 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) per year.
Each school in the Clovis Unified School District involved with the solar initiative features solar panels mounted on either parking lot canopies or playground shade structures. The solar systems were installed across the district at Clovis West High School, Fancher Creek Elementary School, Ft. Washington Elementary School, Pinedale Elementary School, Weldon Elementary School and a professional development building.
