Solar Funding for Schools: A Guide to Making the Switch
As a school administrator, you are always looking for ways to improve your school and create a better learning environment for your students. One way to do this is by making the switch to solar energy. Not only is solar energy environmentally friendly, but it can also help you save money on energy costs in the long run. But how do you get started with solar energy for your school? In this guide, we’ll cover everything you need to know about solar funding for schools.
There are several options for funding a solar energy project for your school. Here are some of the most common:
- Government Funding & Local Authority Grants
- Community Fundraising
- Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs)
Government Funding & Local Authority Grants
Some local authorities offer grants or funding schemes to support schools in adopting renewable energy schemes. Check with your specific local authority for more information.
Community Fundraising
Your school can also reach out to the community for support in funding your solar energy project. This can include things like hosting a fundraiser or reaching out to local businesses for support.
Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs)
With a PPA, a third-party company installs, owns, and operates the solar panels on your school’s roof. Your school then pays for the energy generated by the panels, which is typically less expensive than what you would pay for energy from traditional sources.
Making The Switch to Solar Energy
Making the switch to solar energy for your school is a great way to improve the environment and save money on energy costs in the long run. By doing your research and exploring all of the options for solar funding, you can make the transition to solar energy as smooth and successful as possible.
