Solar Panels for Schools, Colleges and other Educational Facilities
Over the past few years, the demand for solar panels in schools, colleges, Universities and other educational establishments has grown. Igen has worked on several projects with academic institutions of various sizes, from Primary Schools to red brick Universities across the county. With benefits including a reduction in the cost of energy bills plus a reduction in carbon emissions, the switch to solar is a win-win. The switch to renewables sends a great message to pupils, inspiring them with the latest in technology and teaching them how they, too, can look after their world.

to your educational establishment
Sharply increasing electricity costs and large amounts of unused roof space provided by educational facilities make a solar panel system a solid investment. Whether your academic establishment is looking to reduce costs, decrease its carbon footprint or secure its future energy supply, Igen provides custom solar PV installations which help you achieve your objectives.
Solar for schools can provide a substantial return on investment. While the end of the Feed-in Tariff made the financial justification of residential installations more challenging—compared to buying renewable energy from the grid—it’s a different story for school solar panels.
The reason is a combination of cheaper solar PV technology, a 25-year fixed cost for solar energy generation, minimal maintenance of the solar PV system after installation, and continuing rises in the cost of grid-supplied electricity. Altogether, the result is solar energy that’s around 60-70% cheaper than buying from the National Grid. Additional enticements are PPA’sPPAs and financial solutions to help manage or eradicate upfront costs.
Energy costs are predicted to double within the next ten years. Solar panels for schools and educational facilities are a smart energy solution that will effectively allow your establishment to buy electricity in advance at a price of around five to six pence per unit. This significantly reduces the financial exposure to energy price rises, which will make financial forecasting and planning much easier.

Tailored Solutions To Meet Your Needs
Solar Panel Financing & PPAs
We can assist Property owners/Landlords in generating additional income by preparing PPA options, effectively selling their clean solar electricity to their future tenants, providing an additional revenue stream and benefitting the tenants with low-rate lean electricity. Businesses with existing premises can also access Solar PV without any capital, whereby Igen can arrange a PPA investment in your building, securing low fixed rate clean energy for the next 20-25 years.
