Twin Hills Union School District Solar Installation

Twin Hills USD committed to making their three campuses net zero; however, they wanted a more creative solution than just a patch of panels in a side yard. Persinger Architects transformed panels of “flowers,” shelters, and walkways into a megawatt-scale solar installation. Car charging stations at each campus helped make it feasible for teachers to lease electric vehicles in support of carbon reduction.
