New York, NY – April 2, 2015 – (RealEstateRama) — Representatives of the New York Power Authority (NYPA) and the New York State Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), will be joined by the Superintendent of the Somers Central School District, and local and state officials on April 9, to announce the expansion of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo’s K-Solar program. A question-and-answer session with students, some of whom are in a pre-engineering program, will follow.
K-Solar is a partnership between NYPA and NYSERDA, working with the state Education Department. It provides public schools with free site surveys, solar energy analysis and other support. Districts pay no upfront costs for the installation of solar panels. K-Solar also provides teacher training and materials to support STEM curricula.
