Boyd applauds $1.7M in grants to Upper Darby schools

(May 21, 2025)

HARRISBURG, May 21 – State Rep. Heather Boyd, D-Delaware, announced today that four schools in the Upper Darby School District were awarded a combined $1.7 million from Pennsylvania’s Solar for Schools Grant Program . The following schools received grants: Drexel Hill Middle School, $500,000. Westbook Park Elementary School, $431,600. Primos Elementary School, $334,913. Hillcrest Elementary School, $446,363. The funding will help lower energy costs and support renewable energy use. “This investment will create renewable, sustainable and long-term energy for our schools,” Boyd said. “It also provides an educational opportunity for students to learn about sustainability and the importance of preserving our environment.” The Solar for Schools Grant Program was created in July 2024 to reduce the cost of implementing solar energy systems into schools across the state. School districts, intermediate units, charter schools, technical schools and community colleges are eligible for the program. The funding may cover the purchase and installation of equipment, permit fees, energy storage and utility interconnection. The Commonwealth Financing Authority is an independent agency and administers the Solar for Schools Grant Program, as well as other state economic stimulus packages. Read more
