The new municipal school in the Santana neighborhood of Piracicaba (SP) will be the first unit in the municipal education network designed with its own solar energy generation system. The project will receive an investment of R$ 12 million.
The Santana Municipal Elementary and Middle School will have the capacity to serve approximately 450 students in part-time programs or 370 students in full-time programs. Construction began last month and is being carried out by the Piracicaba City Hall, through the municipal departments of Education and Public Works, Infrastructure and Services.
The construction fulfills a demand from residents of the Santana and Santa Olímpia neighborhoods, who had been waiting for more than 20 years for the unit to be built.
The project includes the installation of 136 photovoltaic modules on the school's roof, as well as inverters and equipment for protection, measurement, and monitoring of the energy generated.
The photovoltaic system will also include devices to protect against electrical surges and lightning strikes, as well as features to monitor power grid parameters and identify any faults.
According to the mayor of Piracicaba, Helinho Zanatta (PSD), the adoption of solar power generation aims to make the unit more efficient.
"By incorporating solar power generation into the project, we are taking an important step towards making the school more efficient and prepared for the future," he stated.
However, the school will remain connected to the utility company's grid. The energy produced by the photovoltaic system may offset part of the unit's consumption, reducing the amount of electricity supplied by the distributor.
In addition to the solar power generation infrastructure, the new school will have five classrooms for elementary school and six for early childhood education, as well as a reading room, computer lab, multipurpose spaces, and administrative areas.
The facility will also include a playground, a covered multi-sports court, accessibility infrastructure, and air-conditioned spaces.
