Original article: At Thomas Edison High School in Queens, a new solar installation generates electricity. In fact, it produces enough electricity to meet 65 percent of the school's energy consumption.

Second article: The solar installation project at Thomas Edison High School in Queens isn't as effective as it could be. In fact, 35 percent of the school's energy consumption isn't supported by the solar panels at all.
