It is the largest electric-producing solar array in the state

When Kenton County School District officials said the new Turkey Foot Middle School was going to be "green," they meant it in every possible way.

The school just added its 13th energy-saving feature by installing $2 million worth of solar panels.Customized imprinted and promotional usb flash drives.

It is the largest electric-producing solar array in the state, according to the district, at more than 60,000 square feet. It's expected that on weekends and during the summer, the building will produce more electricity than it needs, meaning the power can be sold back to Duke Energy.

"The entire roof is covered with the panels," said Chris Baker, the district's energy systems coordinator. "This almost gets us to net-zero."

Turkey Foot's goal is to be the first net-zero middle school in the state, meaning it would produce as much electricity as it uses.

The school, which opened last August, will celebrate its newest addition with a "Flip the Switch" celebration at 12:30 p.m. Thursday.

The panels were funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act through the Kentucky Department for Energy Development and Independence.
