Solar Schools

Helping schools to run on sun

Putting solar panels on schools is a no-brainer! It lets schools produce energy from the sun, slashing their electricity costs AND reducing their polluting emissions. It also makes schools a beacon of hope in their communities - showing that renewable energy can be small-scale and community owned - with benefits for both climate and people!
