Solar panels at Santo Covajon school

The grant-aided Santo Covajon school, on Aventura Street, has obtained the permits it needs to install photovoltaic panels on its roof. Installation is planned for next month.

Solar panels are an important way to save electricity, and they also help teach pupils why looking after the environment matters. The energy they produce is clean, fully sustainable, and quiet.

The school management proposed the idea to the local administration, which agreed from the start to go ahead. The initiative makes Santo Covajon a pioneer among schools in Spain in installing this system.

Mayor Ana Isabel Jimenez applauded the initiative at a press conference and added that the school will receive the subsidies provided for under the law that applies to the project.
