=Chinquapin Solar Power Project=

The Chinquapin School has implemented an off-grid solar power system to illuminate part of the campus. The project, funded by Beyond Petroleum's (BP's) //A+ For Energy Program// and led by science and math faculty member Brian Lamore, installed a solar panel on the roof of the Science Building. The solar panel charges a battery, and the energy is used to power efficient LED lights at night and charge students' electronic devices. This wiki is used to store information about the project for all members of the project team to reference.

The major project tasks are:

> Solar Panel > Battery > Monitoring Panel > Lights > Educational Aspect > Public Outreach
