The 2.5-acre solar array will cover approximately eight percent of the school\u2019s annual electricity consumption, or over 1,300 megawatt hours of energy, the equivalent of powering about 100 homes. Kankakee Community College estimates its savings will total over $84,000 in the first year of operation alone and a projected $2.8 million over the solar array\u2019s expected 25 years of service.
