POWER YOUR SCHOOL WITH SUNSHNE
Schools are perfect for solar. schools need electricity during daylight hours, when solar power is generated, and they usually have a large roof area, perfect for installing solar panels.
As community hubs of knowledge and innovation, schools are strongly positioned to lead the way in the adoption of green energy with rooftop solar. In addition to the clear environmental benefits of reducing carbon emissions, there are many payoffs for schools taking on this leadership role – from financial savings to an enhanced learning environment.
If your school is considering making the switch to solar, it’s worth considering all the possibilities. SLS Ltd can assist you in making the most of the transition.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF SOLAR PANELS FOR SCHOOLS?
Reducing energy costs
From lighting and air conditioning to computer labs and audiovisual equipment, energy demands in the education sector are high. Rising power bills are an ongoing concern for many schools, with turbulent prices making it difficult to budget for other essential resources. Installing rooftop solar may be the ideal solution for schools seeking a more cost-effective and futureproof approach to energy management, offering a strong return on investment.
Minimising carbon footprint
The mounting global effects of C02 emissions mean it’s more important than ever that we take responsibility for our carbon footprint. As community hubs, schools are well-positioned to lead by example in this area, providing a model of positive action for young people and their families while immediately reducing local emissions.
Creating learning opportunities
In addition to modelling energy efficiency for young people, SLS Ltd can provide sought-after learning opportunities. For example, an intelligent energy monitoring system (such as https://energysparks.uk/ ) enables students to be directly involved in collaborative analysis and decision making with real-world applications.
Enhancing green credentials and increasing enrolments For an increasing number of families awareness and innovation are important considerations in choosing a school for their children. Campuses that feature a renewable energy program offer environmental, financial, and educational benefits for the school community, which may increase enrolment.
FINANCING A SOLAR SYSTEM
Despite the many benefits of moving toward a Solar System for your school there is one element that causes hesitation, the cost! To help schools make their solar dreams a reality, SLS ltd provides fully compliant funding options to help.
Given that the payback time of most energy generation and reduction projects is much lower than the expected system life, projects can be funded in a way that the overall cashflow profile is positive.
We have developed relationships with many finance partners providing fully schools complaint funding options.. All have one aim: to help public sector organisations achieve their green ambitions.

We’ve made going solar simple, fast, and affordable
Free solar design
Our no-obligation remote consultation lets you know how many panels will work, and provide recommendations based on your energy profile.
YOUR SOLAR PV SURVEY
We will look at the roof type, consider the most suitable array size and location, assess the roof for any shade and make sure that all equipment locations and cabling routes are determined. The site survey is completely free of charge and will ensure you get the most appropriate system for your school.
YOUR QUOTATION
Based on the results of your free site survey we use OpenSolar the latest in PV design software to assess the orientation, size and angle of your roof, together with any likely obstructions and provide you with a full written solar PV proposal complete with projected outputs and paybacks outlining the various funding options available to you.
