The price of an installation will vary considerably. As you’ll appreciate for school premises factors like roof access costs, roof type, roof pitch and orientation can all influence the cost. It’s also important that we know your specific requirements because that’ll help us design and cost a system that most accurately meets your present and future needs. We can carry out a desktop study using google earth and come up with an estimate and a calculation of your annual system production to a degree of 5% accuracy. We’re always happy to provide free advice and supply a competitive written quotation.
Schools Solar PV
Cheap energy with generous green incentives – it’s an education!
Have you considered the benefits of solar PV for your school, college or place of education? With ‘free power’ there’s never been a better time to put solar PV on your green investment agenda.
Schools are particularly suited to solar due to their heavy reliance on day time energy use. They are also high users of electricity, meaning that most if not all of the energy generated will be used by the school themselves, rather than being sent back to the grid. With energy prices rising at an alarming rate the emphasis is on reducing the number of units pulled from the grid, and this is where solar is at it’s most useful. Managing Director, Kevin Fryer, installed the largest fully-monitored solar PV system in Europe in 2017 and to date the system is exceeding target production by approximately 20%.
Our services for schools include:
- Free initial consultation and ballpark quotation.
- In depth feasibility studies and system design.
- Installation using our in-house team of designers, PV installers and back office team.
- Help and advice on applying for financial support, funding and other options to transform your energy use at a minimal upfront cost.
Frequently Asked Questions
How soon will I see a return on my solar investment?
Depending on your electricity consumption and the size of your system the pay back period for a commercial system can be anywhere between 5–9 years. Most of the return on your solar investment comes from the ‘free’ electricity you generate for your direct use.
We’ll give you precise estimates on this with your quotation for a period of 20 years. But don’t forget your system will still be providing substantial energy savings for decades after this. That’s all a very healthy return for your green, energy-saving initiative.
Will there be any disruption to my business?
Generally, we do not impact day to day school or education activities in any way. On average a 50 kWp system will only take 5 working days to complete, and there are very rarely shutdowns of power required. In summary we work with you to ensure your that our programme fits with you.
