What is solar for schools?
Solar for Schools guides you through the journey to enjoy solar energy on your school’s roof, from funding, design, installation and operation. On top, we include an education package about energy and sustainability using the solar panels as the educational instrument. Reduce your school carbon footprint and empower your pupils with solar.
How can schools benefit from a solar PV system?
The scheme will fund up to 6 kilowatts of roof-mounted solar PV, which equates to approximately 16 solar panels. Connection to the grid will be included, to allow unused solar energy to feed to the grid when schools are closed. This will enable schools to be compensated for renewable energy exports to the grid.
Should schools use solar energy?
As we become more environmentally conscious, our schools, throughout the UK, need to begin educating themselves and their students on the importance of solar energy whilst also taking on a role of responsibility for our planet. Adopting solar energy usage into our schools can help to do this.
How can solar energy help schools become greener and more energy efficient?
Two of the main ways solar energy can help schools become greener and more energy efficient are solar photovoltaic (PV) panels and solar thermal systems. Solar photovoltaic (PV) panels, use photovoltaic cells. These cells, when hit by sunlight, induce the flow of electrons, which generates a direct current of electricity, also known as DC.
Where can I buy solar panels for my school?
Solar panels for schools can be purchased from Solarsense, who offer a turnkey supply, installation and maintenance service. They provide a range of finance options, including 100% asset finance and a competitive power purchase agreement (PPA).
