Using PV Solar Power in Schools

“If every roof in the UK were to be covered in solar panels, we could exceed the whole nation’s energy demand”

“Schools are responsible for 15% of UK public sector carbon emissions”

Most of us have adapted to living a more eco-friendly lifestyle, whether it’s recycling our household rubbish or making more of an effort to leave the car at home once in a while, they are all things we’ve learned to incorporate into our lives.

Our children are learning this as they grow, it will become second nature for them to take care of their planet as long as we lead by example.

Teaching them what can be recycled and how it can help our planet is great, showing them pictures of our beautiful rainforests can help them see the benefits living a green lifestyle can achieve but actually showing them in practice how to be energy efficient will go much further.

At Garden Escape 4 Schools, we really believe that making small changes can have a massive impact. All our mobile classrooms come with the option of PV Solar power solutions.

PV stands for photovoltaic at this is the process whereby the energy produced by the sun is converted into electricity through solar cells.

Through one small panel on your new school building you can actually generate your own electricity.

PV panels do not need bright sun light in order to generate power; daylight is all that’s required, although the more intense the light is, the more power will be generated. No greenhouse gases are produced and as well as significantly reducing your schools carbon footprint, they can save your money on your bills too.

All our mobile classrooms are tailor made to your exact specifications which means PV Solar power can be added to your school building with ease. As well as providing a practical solution to an alarming problem they are also aesthetically subtle. All our PV solutions are installed by fully trained experts.

The governments Low Carbon Buildings Programme is offering grants for schools wishing to install microgeneration technologies, visit our resources page for more information.
