Broaddus & Associates served as Owner’s Representative and Project Manager for the Pasadena ISD Solar Initiative, overseeing the design, installation, and integration of three hurricane-resistant solar photovoltaic systems at Sam Rayburn and Sam Houston High Schools. Developed in partnership with the Houston Advanced Research Center, the project includes rooftop and wall-mounted systems, power distribution and conversion equipment, and a web-based monitoring platform that allows students and teachers to track system performance.

The installations are among the largest rooftop solar systems at Texas public schools, expected to reduce energy use by approximately 172,000 kWh annually, avoid 124 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions, and save the district about $15,000 per year in energy costs. The project also provides students with hands-on learning opportunities in renewable energy and sustainability.
