The solar canopies are expected to produce 1,021kW of clean energy, reducing the district’s utility costs.
The San Lorenzo Unified School District superintendent Dennis Byas said, "This project fulfills our commitment to the voters of this community, who have consistently entrusted us with an ambitious investment in our district’s facilities."
The San Lorenzo Unified School District collaborated with Chevron Energy Solutions, which is engaged in providing public agencies solutions that meet their energy and infrastructure needs, to develop, design and construct the project.
The project is being financed through Measure O, the company said.
The district expects generating $4.5m in savings to its general fund over the lifespan of the project.
