Solar Installations

Utilizing clean energy to reduce our carbon footprint.

The White Bear Lake Area Schools is committed to reducing its carbon footprint by utilizing renewable energy where practical, working in partnership with third-party providers.

The district has installed 14 solar arrays at 11 sites across the district. As older roofs are replaced, we evaluate each building's suitability for a solar installation. Our solar initiatives help support sustainability while providing valuable learning opportunities for students and staff.
