Q2 reports that solar panels will be installed over the summer on the Skyview High School campus. The total cost of the project is $148,000. Skyview– the largest energy consumer in School District 2 — secured a $50,000 grant from NorthWestern Energy to install the system.

District officials estimate that in 30 years, they’ll save $327,000. A similar system is proposed for Senior High School.
