What is Solar4Schools all about?

Valley Community School Bolton

Solar4Schools is about getting solar electricity into the heart of our communities.
The Low Carbon Building Programme (phases 2) which part funded the Solar4Schools scheme has now closed.

The programme will be replaced by the 'Clean Energy Cash-back scheme' in April 2010. At the moment the details of this scheme have not been announced, but if you would like to be kept up to date please e-mail solarschools@solarcentury.com and we will let you know how the new scheme works as soon as details are available.

Solar PV provides a powerful visual demonstration of how micro renewables can be incorporated into buildings to help meet broader government aims of carbon reduction by encouraging energy efficiency and on-site renewable energy generation. PV installations on schools and colleges also help educate the next generation about the importance of renewable energy.
