Why Schools Are Choosing Solar
With stretched budgets, rising energy costs, and growing sustainability requirements, solar helps schools do more with less whilst demonstrating environmental leadership.
School Solar Funding & Grants
UK schools have access to dedicated funding schemes that can cover the full cost of solar installation. We help schools navigate every funding route.
Solar by School Type
Every educational setting has different energy requirements. Here are typical system sizes and savings by school type.
Educational Value Beyond Energy Savings
A solar installation is more than an energy system — it's a living classroom that brings STEM subjects to life and positions your school as an environmental leader.
DEC Rating Improvement
Solar directly reduces your operational energy use, improving your Display Energy Certificate rating. Schools with a DEC rating of D or below qualify for PSDS grant funding — solar can help you access additional building improvement grants.
