Solar projects installed at five schools will save the Fairfield-Suisun School District a total of $12.7 million in utility costs over 20 years, trustees were told Thursday.

The school district staff recommends SolarCity Corporation of San Mateo install solar photovoltaic projects at Anna Kyle Elementary, Crystal Middle and Armijo, Fairfield and Rodriguez high schools.

“SolarCity comes very well prepared to do this,” Kim Van Gundy, director of facilities for the school district, told trustees.
