A Bespoke Solar PV System
Following a comprehensive site audit and a detailed analysis of the school’s energy usage, we designed and installed a 182-panel solar PV system. Due to varying structural integrity across multiple school buildings, we identified the safest and most structurally sound locations for installation. As a result, the panels were strategically placed across three different roofs to maximise generation.
Government-Backed Funding for Zero-Cost Installation
To ensure the school could implement this energy-saving solution without financial strain, we secured funding through Salix Finance, a government-backed initiative. Our team managed the entire funding application process, reducing administrative burdens on the school. This financial support allowed Coed Glas to make the switch to renewable energy without any upfront costs, providing significant long-term savings.
Power to the Pupils
Beyond financial benefits, the solar PV system became an educational tool for students. We installed a monitoring system in the school’s reception area, enabling pupils to track energy production and savings in real time. Additionally, our online reporting tool allows continuous monitoring of system performance. This hands-on learning opportunity reinforces the school’s commitment to climate education and sustainability.
