A Brighter Future: Solar for Schools
Schools can choose from various financing and grant options, making solar projects accessible without upfront capital. Solar energy has long been touted for its
A fundamental reason for solar power's success in K-12 schools is the wide range of benefits offered to stakeholders. Nearly 5,500 schools currently use solar energy systems and that number will continue a rapid ascent as solar panel efficiencies improve and manufacturing costs decline.
When a school uses a solar system, the building continues to use electricity from the utility when its power demands exceed the solar system's production. At the end of the billing cycle, the school's electric bill reflects the total energy consumed minus the electricity that was produced by the solar system.
Solar power is the best way for schools to shine today, with an estimated 4 million students attending schools with some form of solar power application. With the latest advancements in technology and quicker return on investment, solar energy is now a practical and environmentally friendly option for schools.
To choose the right solar system for your school, consider the following factors: energy usage trends, electricity consumption, and a thorough understanding of the facilities. The solar system chosen should meet the financial and energy needs of the school, both current and future.
