Riverside Brookfield High School (RBHS) partnered with Verde Solutions to bring renewable energy to its campus through the installation of a rooftop solar energy system. Featuring 840 solar panels, the system is projected to generate more than 16.4 million kWh of clean electricity over its 30-year lifespan, helping the District reduce energy costs, lower its environmental impact, and invest in a more sustainable future.
Beyond the environmental benefits, the project delivers significant financial value. With applicable utility rebates and Illinois Shines incentives factored in, the District anticipates approximately $2.3 million in cumulative cash flow over 30 years, including the overall project cost, and $48,706 in first-year energy savings.
