Bracken Ridge State School has become the first school in Australia to have a classroom that runs entirely on its own renewable energy.
The classroom has been taking advantage of rooftop solar panels supplied by Tech startup Hive Technology and a Powerwall Battery System supplied by Tesla, saving the school around 3000 dollars in power bills.
Mr David Wrench from Hive Technologies has said that the project has proven that renewables are capable of being cheaper than the alternative as it meets the goals of having low-cost power on a sustainable basis.
