Te Pahu School electricity generation?

The students are currently doing the below project in pairs. They are looking at whether solar or wind power could be a possibility at Te Pahu school. We have explored how many kilowatts the school uses and how much it costs per year. We are looking to reduce that cost.

So some students are researching maximum and average wind speeds in Te Pahu, different wind turbines and their kilowatts per hour capacity, prices, possible locations, and maintenance costs. Other students are identifying the premium roof angles and locations to harness the most solar energy. They are also looking into the prices and kilowatt production of different solar systems available here in NZ.

There is loads of learning going on in many areas including maths, science, and literacy. I am really looking forward to the results.
