CTECS are crucial to the education system in Connecticut, and their addition of clean energy to the schools not only show their commitment to sustainability, but offer on-site learning opportunities for students. With the partnership of Connecticut Green Bank and Verogy, the CTECS have installed seven solar energy projects at technical high schools across the state including both rooftop and carport solar.
