Solar Power for Schools

Schools, Colleges and Universities can benefit enormously from the installation of a solar power system:

• Valuable educational tool
• Significant energy cost savings
• Valuable income generation through government funding
• Strong visual statement of environmental credentials
• Contributes significantly towards the 60% renewable target in education centres
• Promotion as a green education centre
• Secured hedge against increasing energy rates

It‘s not only the education centre that benefits... it's the parents, the teachers, the governors, the children, and the visitors...and you reduce your carbon footprint.

Grants & Funding

There are two types of funding - you are entitled to use any combination of them:

• The "Feed in Tariff" (Energy Cash Back Scheme) - get paid for what you generate
• The Renewable Heat Incentive

Below we explain exactly how the different types of funding work. Please call our dedicated funding team to find out more.

The "Feed-in tariff" or "Energy Cash Back Scheme"

From April 2010, Education Centres who install solar electric systems will be paid a substantial rate for all of the electricity they generate.

The payments are guaranteed by law for 25 years and the payments will rise with inflation.

A portion of the generated electricity from your system will be used by the school; whilst the remainder of the generated electricity from your system will be exported to the national electricity grid.

The Renewable Heat Incentive

A new government incentive called the "Renewable Heat Incentive" starts April 2011.
The incentive will be launched to meet the UK's 2020 EU 15% renewable energy target for solar hot water systems.

Providing your system is installed by an MCS accredited company and was installed after the July 15th 2009 you will be able to claim this incentive.

The Renewable Heat Incentive tariffs are paid based on the volume of heat your system will output.

The DECC (Department of Energy and Climate Change) has further information:
