Renewable energy production & awareness raising in the Teleborg School

Renewable energy production and awareness raising in the Teleborg School in Växjö

The politicians of the City of Växjö decided back in 1996 that Växjö shall become a fossil fuel free city. Between 1993 and 2006 the emissions of carbon dioxide from Växjö have decreased by 30 % down to a level of 3.2 tonnes per capita and year. This level is far below the global average. The goal is that the emissions per capita shall be reduced by 50 % until 2010 and by 70 % until 2025, compared to 1993.
The solar cell project is part of the comprehensive SESAC project in Växjö which started in 2005. SESAC is part of the CONCERTO initiative under the 6th Framework Programme and co-funded by the European Commission.

The aims in this project is to demonstrate on-site generation of renewable electricity.

Solar cells have been installed on a flat roof of a school building. The installation represents 528 m2 and 532 cells, producing approximately 58 000 kWh/year. The innovation of this project is that six education modules have been designed so that Teleborg school can use it for educational purposes (in Mathematics for calculation, in Physics to learn about renewable energy sources and in English to take part in study visits).
Two displays have been installed inside and outside the school in order to show the just-now production, total production since the beginning and the savings of CO2 emissions.
