Commercial Solar Panels on a Girls School in Bournemouth

What are the benefits of installing commercial solar panels on your educational facility?

By choosing ProStar Energy for your commercial solar PV system installation, you gain a variety of benefits. Not only will you experience significant reductions in energy bills, but you'll also contribute to a cleaner environment by lowering your facility’s carbon footprint.

Cut your energy bills by up to 60%

By adopting solar energy through our standard purchase system, you can significantly reduce your facility's energy consumption by 30-60% (depending on whether you opt for a Standard or Power Purchase Agreement). This results in savings of hundreds or even thousands of pounds annually, making it an ideal choice for larger schools or campuses with substantial energy needs for teaching equipment and other operations.

Lower your carbon footprint

Integrating our commercial solar panels into your school is not only a wise financial decision but also a proactive step in reducing your school’s environmental impact. By harnessing clean, renewable solar power, you'll decrease your reliance on external energy sources and lower your carbon footprint. Additionally, it offers a fantastic opportunity to demonstrate green energy generation to students, providing a tangible example of the power of renewable energy.

Guard against electricity grid blackouts

With our commercial solar panels, you can lessen your reliance on external energy providers and protect your school from the unpredictability of power grid fluctuations. Thanks to our solar storage batteries, you won’t need to worry about unexpected blackouts, as they’ll keep your critical equipment running smoothly, even during a complete power outage.

Generate steady income year after year

Switching to solar power not only meets your facility's energy needs but can also contribute to your school’s finances! With the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), you can sell any surplus electricity generated by your solar system back to the grid. It’s a great way to boost your school’s budget while helping reduce the UK’s reliance on fossil fuels

Enjoy FREE solar power with a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)

A Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) for commercial solar panels offers an innovative way for businesses and organisations to access sustainable energy without the upfront costs of installation.

Under this agreement, we will install, own, and maintain the commercial solar panels on your premises, generating electricity that you purchase at a discounted rate for an agreed-upon period.

The PPA allows businesses to benefit from renewable energy without the financial burden of purchasing and maintaining the infrastructure. It’s a win-win arrangement that supports sustainability, reduces your carbon footprint, and enables sailing clubs and marinas to harness clean energy while lowering their environmental impact and operating costs.

At the end of the contract, you have several options: buy the energy system outright, extend the PPA if you're satisfied, or remove the system if it’s no longer needed. This flexibility ensures you can choose the solution that best suits your changing needs.
