Client Profile

Roundup Elementary School in Roundup, MT partnered with OnSite Energy to install a 70.40 kW solar array aimed at reducing energy costs and advancing school sustainability goals. The project was supported in part by a grant through NorthWestern Energy’s USB renewable energy funding program, which helps bring solar to schools, public buildings, and community facilities across the region.

Case Study

OnSite Energy designed and installed a 70.40 kW solar photovoltaic system at Roundup Elementary School to help the district generate clean electricity onsite and reduce reliance on conventional grid power. This installation was made possible in part through a Universal System Benefits (USB) grant from NorthWestern Energy — funding that supports renewable energy systems on schools and public facilities as part of broader community and environmental benefits.

The solar array not only contributes to lower energy costs over time, but also provides a visible example of renewable energy in action for students, staff, and the broader Roundup community. By integrating solar power into the school’s infrastructure, the district is taking a proactive step toward sustainability and energy stewardship.
