Students, teachers and administrators are gathering at Lovelock Elementary School on Tuesday at 3 p.m. to celebrate completion of two photovoltaic solar systems that are generating 70 kilowatts (70,000 watts) of electricity for the Pershing County School District. The district will receive a $356,170 rebate check from NV Energy to offset installation costs. Black Rock Solar, a non-profit spinoff of the Burning Man project, installed the panels at no charge to the school district, with the balance of the cost funded by donations from the Burning Man Community. The dedication will conclude with a “solar” ice cream social. Guest speakers from NV Energy, Black Rock Solar and the Pershing County School District will offer a few brief comments about the benefits of the project

Lovelock Elementary School is located at 1100 Harvard Way, in Lovelock.
