COLUMBIA — On Monday, the Columbia Area Career Center was catapulted into the field of alternative energy. Installation of 12 solar panels given by Columbia’s Water and Light Department began. The two-kilowatt solar panel system will generate electricity for the building, but more importantly, it will serve as an educational example of how solar energy works for Career Center students.
