Osseo-Fairchild School District Completes Educational Solar Project

Monday, July 7th, 2025 -- 8:01 AM

The Osseo-Fairchild School District has completed its Educational Solar Project.

They’re excited to announce the completion of their educational solar installation at the Osseo-Fairchild Technology Education Center! Starting in the 2025–2026 school year, students will begin hands-on classes focused on renewable energy and solar technology.

10 solar panels have been installed to give students real-world experience in alternative energy systems. They’re also proud to partner with Madison Area Technical College on an innovative research project testing thin-film anti-soiling coatings, bringing cutting-edge industry practices directly into our classrooms.

A huge THANK YOU to our incredible partners for making this project possible: Olson Solar, KEEP – Wisconsin’s K-12 Energy Education Program, Xcel Energy, Madison Area Technical College, Wisconsin Office of Energy Innovation and Osseo Electric.

Together, they’re preparing students for the future of energy in Wisconsin and beyond.
