Allen,

This solar schools solicitation has just been anounced, maybe you've
already see it? I've had contact with Leigh Seddon and with Lois here
in our office and we'd like to make a go at this one.
I figure that EcoSage should be involved somehow. I'll probably try
and get a
conf. call or meeting together to discuss this.

be well,

2) PV and Schools
The U.S. Department of Energy has released Supplemental
Announcement #12, titled "Photovoltaics for Schools" under the
Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy's Broad Based
Solicitation Involving Research, Development and Demonstration.
DOE seeks proposals to develop and demonstrate a model for
integrating photovoltaics (PV) into middle school and high school
buildings and education programs. The PV installations are
intended to produce electricity for the reduction of utility costs and
serve as teaching aids for the introduction of renewable energy into
each
school's science program. Applicants are encouraged, but not required,
to form partnerships with school district(s), the U.S. photovoltaic
power
industry, National Laboratories, the utility industry, academic
institutions, and community groups. $100K available, 1-2 cooperative
agreements expected. 50% cost share required. Proposals due 6/10/99.
For more info, contact John P. Motz at (303) 275-4788 or go to:

DE-PS36-99GO10383. (CBD 4/9/99)
