School Installations Come With Educational Kiosks

AlsoEnergy has installed 200 solar energy monitoring and educational kiosks at schools around the U.S.

AlsoEnergy has installed 200 solar energy monitoring and educational kiosks at schools around the U.S. and Canada.

AlsoEnergy, a developer of energy monitoring and portfolio management software, has announced that it’s monitoring over 200 solar installations at public schools, colleges and universities across North America. The company provides energy monitoring data along with educational kiosks to the educational field.

Schools either build their own photovoltaic (PV) energy system to power their facility or they partner with financiers or utility companies and the power is sold to them at a fixed or reduced rate.


“What started out a few years ago with monitoring installations in the Denver Public School District has grown into district-wide portfolio management, where performance data is being gathered,” says Robert Schaefer, CEO of AlsoEnergy. “Integrating that data into the school curriculum teaches students what solar panels can produce at different times of the day.  Seeing how much electricity their school is consuming is what really appeals to students and teachers alike.”


Schools with solar technology programs allow students to view the performance of the entire site instantly as well as scrutinize more detailed information. Educational kiosks are customized to each location, to the level of the students and the curriculum.
