   San Francisco, California  --  Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) announced that it has selected 19 northern and central California high schools for its inaugural Solar Suitcase Program.

The program will feature students building portable solar units and sharing the solar suitcases with students in the country of Kenya.

The suitcase was created by We Share Solar and supplies will be provided by the nonprofit Green Tech.

The unit is a small, portable photovoltaic lighting system, with enough light for a small room.

PG&E said it is supplying 100 solar suitcase units to the high schools and Green Tech will provide the students with training so they can assemble the suitcases.
