The company claimed the solar installations would offset more than 50% of each school's electricity usage and will ensure a constant, low-cost source of clean energy via a power performance agreement between S-Energy America and the School Districts. Key Equipment Finance, a division of KeyBank National Association, provided additional financing for the project.

“The solar panels that are now at many of the schools within our district are not only a commitment to the environment in which our families live,” said Peter Wong, chief business official of the Lynwood Unified School District. “They also help fulfill our goal to lower operational costs and put more of our taxpayer's funds directly into the classroom.”  

“S-Energy's high quality products and strong financial standing make them a natural partner to collaborate with on solar project funding,” said Luis Gutierrez of Key Equipment Finance. “We were able to work together to provide an extremely attractive lease rate based upon the financial standing of its parent company and merits of the underlying projects.”
