Winston Salem-Forsyth County Career Center dedicated its station on September
26, 2003, and Topsail High School's station was dedicated on October 2.
The solar panels will be used to recharge the batteries on the schools'
student-built electric vehicles; each is rated to produce enough electricity
to drive an electric vehicle 23,000 miles per year. Funds for the project
came from the Division of Air Quality of the NC Department of Energy and
Natural Resources, from the State Energy Office
, and the EV Challenge.
