SOLAR LINK

Infant Jesus of Prague is officially an Illinois Solar School! 

The solar panels made possible through grants from BP and the Illinois Clean Energy Community Foundation were installed in December and immediately started transforming solar energy into electricity. While the frigid temperatures and snow cover hampered the energy we produced early on, our production numbers have soared with the recent improvements in conditions. In fact, in the first two weeks of February, we have almost doubled the amount of energy produced through out all of January. It will be exciting to see how much additional electricity we generate as the days turn longer and warmer. Check it out for yourselves!  Click on the SOLAR PANEL LINK (link also on the right under

Quick Links). You will find informative graphs that show how much electricity we have produced over time as well as facts about how the environment has benefited from our system. Even greater than the environmental benefits are the educational ones. IJP students have the opportunity to work with the technology of the future. We are educating the scientists, engineers, and environmentalists who will someday discover the means to make renewable energy the practical choice.
