I'd be interested to follow your progress. I'm involved in new school construction in our district. Our last school was the first, or one of the first "Leed certified Green" schools in Phoenix. It was a nightmare from start to finish. In my opinion no way are the savings ever going to justify the massivly increased costs of the project. So much so that our maintenance department and the architects are trying to get the powers that be do dump the idea for the next one. So far no luck.

Anyway. The truly incredible thing is that there was no provision for solar power any where in the design phase of the project - in Arizona - can you believe it! According to the architects and engineers the technology is so costly it's just not able to compete with coal!

Frankly I'm having a hard time believing that. Anyway, they finally decided to re-design the school to incorporate solar panels after the fact and the new one is supposed to have them designed in from the beginning, though to be honest if the numbers dont add up I just don't see how we can do so in the current economic climate.
