Santee Cooper first introduced solar to the South Carolina electrical grid in 2006 with a project at Coastal Carolina University and their renewable energy portfolio includes 28 Green Power Solar School demonstration projects generating power at 28 schools throughout the state. As part of their efforts to educate the public about solar energy, Santee Cooper is offering two educational workshops focusing on solar energy for its customers.
