Carrington Middle School - Solar Hot Water

{Solar Hot Water} Carringon Middle School, located in Durham North Carolina, houses over 1000 students from grades 6-8. The 8-panel solar hot water system was designed with the school’s cafeteria as its central focus. The cafeteria is the campus’s main source for hot water use, rolling out thousands of meals a week.
