Kapolei Middle School

Kapolei Middle School is the twentieth school to receive a Sun Power for Schools photovoltaic (PV) system.  The two individual systems, one on the gate post of the entrance of Building C (Cultural Center) and the other mounted on the wall and fence of the play court, were installed on November 19, 2004. 

Both of these systems consist of a solar panel that charges a battery during the daytime, from which it is later used to provide additional lighting in their respective locations.  The solar lighting controller regulates the battery charging/discharging and also controls the lighting operation.
