A Bella Energy 100 kilowatt solar system on Kent Denver School provides clean renewable energy while teaching students about environmental stewardship. Kent Denver is a private college preparatory middle and high school that strives to build a community of responsible citizens, located in south Denver at 4000 East Quincy Avenue, Englewood, Colorado.

The 100 kilowatt self-ballasted system is roof-mounted on the science buildings, producing more than 135,000 kilowatt hours of electricity per year for over 20 years with fixed costs per kilowatt at a time when Colorado electricity costs are increasing at roughly 7% per year.

"Bella Energy helped us pursue our sustainability goals, particularity with using solar energy which is both cost effective and efficient. The students can learn about a smart application of a new technology," said Todd Horn, Head of School.

"This unique financial model allows us to take advantage of renewable energy incentives not usually available to non-profit institutions."

Their new solar system project is the result of a partnership between Bella Energy and Conergy, a leading supplier of renewable energy technology. The system produces clean, renewable energy helping Xcel Energy meet the renewable energy goals required by Colorado voters.

"Kent Denver is clearly dedicated to protecting the environment. Bella Energy engineered and designed this original solar system to start their energy efficiency efforts," said Bella Energy's Jim Volpa.

Connor Schlegel, a senior at Kent Denver, said, "I am excited that we are producing solar energy right here and that the school is becoming more environmentally conscious."
