Parker Stewart, 15 years old, studies at the Sayre School in Kentucky, US. After doing some independent environmental studies, Parker wanted to make a difference in his community to help the environment.
He started to work really hard last year to bring solar (太阳的) energy to his school's science labs. Thirty solar panels (电板) are going to be used in late November.
It started when Parker began researching solar energy. He found a solar power app. When he put in an exact address in it, it would tell him how much sunlight that area receives each day. He found that his school building receives a perfect amount (数量) of sunlight, which provided help for finding a good place to install (安装) solar panels for science labs.
At his science teacher's suggestion, Parker performed an energy examination of one of the school's science labs to see how much energy it uses. He then started doing more research, including communicating with a local company called Synergy Home to install solar panels.
Parker then went to the headmaster of his school to ask for money after explaining the upsides of solar power. The school used the money to buy one panel, but since then, the project has grown to a total of 30 panels. They're expected to produce enough energy to run all of the four science labs.
Debbie Wheeler, his science teacher, said the success of the project was because of Parker's hard work. He did all of the research necessary to make clear of whether solar energy would be a suitable solution for the school's labs, as well as found out the number of the cost and good results for the project.
Others just talk about improving the environment "but Parker had the persistence to make it happen," she added.
