Solar Panels for Schools, Colleges & Universities

Education administrators have one thing in common; a commitment to creating an outstanding learning environment while carefully managing a budget. Yet rising energy costs, from essential utilities to digital teaching tools like smart boards, can take a significant toll on your resources.

Commercial solar panels present a powerful solution. Now is the ideal time for schools and universities to embrace solar energy, not only as a strategic way to reduce costs but also as a bold step toward environmental responsibility.

By switching to solar, your institution can dramatically lower its energy bills, minimise its carbon footprint, and position itself as a leader in sustainability. It’s a future-focused investment that delivers both long-term savings and a cleaner, more environmentally conscious space for students and staff to thrive.

Benefits of Installing Commercial Solar Panels on Your Educational Facility

Cut Your Energy Bills by Up to 60%

By embracing solar energy through our standard purchase system, your facility can reduce energy consumption by up to 60%.

This results in considerable savings, especially for larger schools or campuses that rely heavily on energy for teaching equipment and other operations. Whether you choose a Standard or Power Purchase Agreement, the reduction in energy bills can amount to hundreds or even thousands of pounds annually.

Lower Your Carbon Footprint

Adopting solar power is an environmentally responsible choice. By integrating solar panels, you’ll reduce your reliance on non-renewable energy sources, significantly lowering your school’s carbon footprint.

Moreover, it serves as an excellent opportunity to teach students about renewable energy, giving them a practical example of clean power generation.

Guard Against Electricity Grid Blackouts

Solar panels, paired with storage batteries, ensure your school remains powered even during grid failures. By reducing dependence on external energy providers, you’ll protect critical equipment and prevent disruptions during power outages, ensuring continuous operations.

Generate Steady Income Year After Year

Solar energy can also contribute to your school’s finances. Through the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), you can sell surplus energy back to the grid, boosting your budget. This not only helps your school but also supports the UK’s move toward reducing reliance on fossil fuels.

Choosing solar power helps your school save money, reduce environmental impact, and secure energy independence.

University Solar Panels

Take Advantage of FREE Solar Panels with a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)

Schools, colleges, and universities can greatly benefit from a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) for commercial solar panels, providing a cost-effective way to access renewable energy without the upfront installation costs.

With a PPA, we will install, own, and maintain the solar panels on your premises, generating electricity that you can purchase at a discounted rate for an agreed period. This arrangement allows educational institutions to reduce their energy costs while supporting sustainability and reducing their carbon footprint.

At the end of the agreement, you have flexible options: buy the system, extend the PPA, or remove it if no longer needed. The PPA ensures that your institution can harness clean energy without the financial burden of infrastructure maintenance.

To learn more about how a PPA can benefit your school, college, or university, get in touch with our team today.
