Governor Charlie Crist said that at least 90 high schools around the state that are designated as emergency shelters for hurricanes and other disasters are going to get solar-powered back-up generators through federal stimulus money.
The grant, known as the SunSmart School and E-Shelters (Emergency Shelters) program, is a portion of the $126 million the state received in State Energy Program funding for energy-related initiatives.
The money will help pay to install 10-kilowatt systems around the state which should be enough to keep a shelter lighted and comfortable during an emergency.
The program also supports solar-energy education initiatives for students and renewable energy curriculum training for teachers.
