There’s been a price reduction, less electricity, and a completion delay in the contract to build solar panels at Fallbrook High School.

The Fallbrook Union High School District approved the revisions in the original agreement signed nearly a year ago with Baker Electric & Renewables to design, build, and install a carport-mounted solar photovoltaic system at the district’s high school campus. The design-build contract was dated May 23, 2022, for the price of $3,813,122 and the project was expected to be completed by August this year.
