Solar For Schools: Clear, Impartial Advice

- Different funding options assessed to enable schools and trusts to make the right decision for their organisation.
- Competitive procurement process to achieve value for money and compliance with the Academies Handbook.

Generate Your Own Energy with Solar PV
The more energy you can generate, the less reliant on shifting energy prices you will be. A school can typically generate 25% of its electricity on site from Solar PV panels.
Funding solutions are available to enable schools and trusts to do this even if they do not have available capital.
