Capistrano Unified School District Unveils First Installment of Solar Panel Project at San Juan Hills High School

Capistrano Unified School District installed its first solar panel project at San Juan Hills High School.

The project began in the 2015-16 school year as a student lead coalition focused on a more sustainable and environmentally friendly CUSD. Their powerful movement led the District Board of Trustees to approve an $18 million contract to convert six high schools and the CUSD Education Center to solar power.

The new solar system at SJHHS alone is an estimated total energy cost savings of $8 million over its 25-year lifespan. That’s $8 million that will be put directly back into classrooms for our young people.
