Sol Power has 5th-6th graders research and input schools that utilize photovoltaic systems in New Jersey. As they become involved in this project, the students become more knowledgeable of the interactive mapping system by using the map search functions and other tools as they use the Mappler application. Students have discovered an interesting fact from this Mappler project: Interestingly, there are 24 public k-12 schools that use solar power up to 4.3 megawatts (MW) or 4300 kilowatts (kW) in New Jersey.
