2012 Phase I & II – Funded by Measure S
Summer 2012, GUSD completed solar projects at seven sites: Columbus, Keppel, Monte Vista, and Mountain Avenue Elementary Schools, Rosemont Middle School, and Clark Magnet and Crescenta Valley High Schools.
Initial sites were chosen for their energy-generating potential and exposure to sunshine. Additionally, several sites in La Crescenta (Monte Vista, Mountain Avenue, Rosemont, and CVHS), which are served by the Southern California Edison (SCE) utility, received priority to take advantage of limited time California Solar Initiative (CSI) rebates and incentives. These credits saved the district an estimated $900,000 beyond regular energy savings in the first five years.

GUSD supported this expansion by taking advantage of Clean Renewable Energy Bonds (CREBs), a federal tax incentive offered to certain entities in the public sector to finance renewable energy projects.
