Ruffing Solar Energy

Welcome to Ruffing Montessori School's photovoltaic plant. Solar energy is just one of the ways in which we demonstrate our commitment to the environment.

In addition to solar energy, geothermal heating and cooling, day-lighting, and other high performance building technologies were central to our recent campus-wide physical redevelopment.

Our comprehensive recycling program and the use of environmentally friendly cleaning materials, and our "green" curriculum, serve to instill a strong sense of environmental responsibility in our children from Toddler through Middle School.

The charts on this page show solar energy production for the current day (top chart), for the current month (middle chart) and for the year to date (bottom chart). Solar energy production began on November 16, 2006. Online data collection began on January 8, 2007.
