The SunSmart E-Shelter Program provides photovoltaic (solar electric, PV) systems of 10 kW or larger to Enhanced Hurricane Protection Area (EHPA) emergency shelter schools. The systems:

• provide electricity for emergency power,
• help reduce the school's electricity costs throughout the year, and
• provide scientific data that can be analyzed by students.

Students develop critical thinking skills as they analyze data and compare their information with schools throughout Florida.

This program was funded by the State of Florida though a grant from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). Each shelter school/college was competitively selected based on their:

• location,
• status as an emergency shelter, and
• renewable energy education and outreach plans.
