Reducing carbon footprints and learning coming hand in hand…
The uptake of solar has been especially strong with schools for Utility Trade in the first quarter of 2019. Utility Trade completed several installations of Solar PV for a mixture of schools, academies and leisure centres in the first three months of the year.
The installations ranged from 8kW to 50kW and will be providing the schools with 350,000kWh a year in solar generated electricity. This will reduce their carbon footprint by 157 tonnes of CO2 a year and save them thousands in energy costs.
We installed SolarEdge inverters and optimisers to increase the system yields, improve safety and ease maintenance in the future. The schools are also using the monitoring platform as teaching aids to involve the children in the school’s green ambitions.
It was a very ambitious and challenging project which we completed on budget and time for the client.
