Fairground Middle School was the first school to “go solar,” and now that Dr. Crisp has gone online as well, the Board of Education is looking at installing solar at Pennichuck Middle School next year, and indications are solar will be included in the plans for the new middle school when it is built.

Meanwhile, solar arrays have been installed atop the Lake Street Fire Station, the Nashua Transit garage and the Conway Arena, according to Dan Weeks, an employee-owner and development director with ReVision Energy, the solar sales and installation firm with which the city is partnering for the project.

Weeks, a Nashua resident, praised city and school district officials for their “commitment to fight climate change and lead the clean energy transition,” adding that ReVision is “inspired by” that commitment.

Weeks and Mayor Jim Donchess both noted on Tuesday that ReVision, in its role as a so-called “Certified B Corporation,” finances the solar installations through “mission-driven” investors, at no cost to the city or taxpayers.
