NV Energy is presenting a $9.7 million rebate to the Carson City School District, which is taking advantage of Nevada’s abundant sunshine and using it to reduce operating costs with electricity generated by photovoltaic solar panels.
On Sept. 27, the district will receive the rebate through NV Energy’s SolarGenerations program for installing 1,949 kilowatts of solar energy at five schools, including Carson High School, the Fritsch and Seeliger elementary schools and the Eagle Valley and Carson middle schools.
