In the spring of 2019, Good Sun’s Local Power team completed the installation of an 11kW ground-mount solar system for the "Dairy House" preschool at the new Yuba River Charter School campus in Grass Valley. This PV system is designed to off-set approximately $500 per month of utility usage at the preschool and serve as a demonstration system for students wanting to learn about solar. The system will also help train upper level students interested in gaining hands-on vocational experience in the renewable energy field.
