Duffield Primary SchoolDuffield Primary School

The 310 students at Duffield Primary School in Scott County, Virginia, are getting a close-up look at the workings of solar power. Their school is the host site for a 10-kilowatt solar photovoltaic (PV) system that was installed by TVA and the Powell Valley Electric Cooperative.

Duffield Primary School serves a largely rural area in southwestern Virginia that includes the communities of Duffield and Clinchport. The school’s 240-module PV system is mounted on a canopy that provides a covered walkway from the school to the parking lot.
