AEP is working closely with schools to monitor the electricity that can be generated from solar panels installed right at their school — it's the first of its kind. The solar panels that are installed at the schools combine solar power with an energy management system that allows you to see how much electricity is being produced. AEP also donated solar panels to a unique project at the Columbus Zoo.
