Staff report prolonged Rancho Mirage High solar outage

What happened

An energy update said Rancho Mirage High’s solar installation had been down for about six months. Staff described contractor nonresponse and legal letters seeking performance-guarantee payments.

Why it matters to families

A prolonged outage can reduce expected energy savings and leave the district paying for electricity it expected solar to supply.

The evidence

Staff said the original developer had gone bankrupt and assets changed hands. No contractor name, recovery amount, settlement or restored-operation date was established in the reviewed recording. This is a reported performance problem, not a finding of fraud.
