Solar Panels for Schools & Educational Facilities
Educational savings with £180m government funding available
Schools are ideal candidates for solar installation, with suitable roof spaces, daytime electricity consumption, and strong educational benefits. The UK government has committed £180m in funding to support school solar installations as part of net-zero targets.
Solar installations provide teaching opportunities, reduce operating costs, and demonstrate environmental leadership to students and parents. With many schools built in the 1960s-1980s with flat roofs, retrofit potential is significant.
