Two Blues Solar has completed the installation of four solar panels in schools in the UK, which have a combined generation capacity of 298 kWp.
The commercial solar financier, developer and consultancy rolled the solar technology for educational provider from Cresomes First Group (OFG). The four schools – in Norfolk, Worcestershire and two in Shropshire – are expected to be between 8% and 28% of their energy demand from the installations.
The two Shrophsire schools, Lambledge and Smallbrook, with 32 kW and 60 kW solar respectively, also saw both storage of the battery energy installed, storing surplus generation and the site to sell electricity to the grid.
Two Blues Solar started working with the school group in 2024, as part of the sustainability efforts of OFG on its estate, with around 100 British schools, including plans for an electric fleet and charging infrastructure.
Although the solar company usually finances and develops directly on location Zonne projects -as with a 165 KWP roof system it installed in Stoke on Trent-In April, OFG chose to finance the solar installation itself, and two blues acted as a consultant and project manager.
The Model Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) model with which two blues can install solar energy without prior costs can be difficult to manage on multiple sites, but announced in an earlier project in May, the service provider A PPA performed for 120 sites owned by Pub Company Marston’s PLC.
Photon Energy was the installation program for the school project, chosen from the Network of Two Blues Solar. Two blues continue to offer long -term asset management through his customer -oriented platform.
Head of sustainability at OFG Astrid d’Amelio said that the installation will “give students a tangible way to get in touch with renewable energy” and indicated that two blues will help with “further opportunities” on the group’s estate.
Solar panels for schools
Solar installations have been historically on familiar for state schools loans And government financing allocation.
Measures to provide subsidies specifically for solar projects in schools have been investigated. For example, Zonne for Schools collaborated with National Grid on a company of £ 2.7 million Fundraising and making around £ 10 million in solar projects in schools can be installed.
In March of this year, the state ownership of the government is Great British Energy Company announced that the first project would be to finance Solar PV for schools and NHS sites. About £ 80 million has been set on the back installations on around 200 school sites, with the The PV installations of first 11 primary schools are completedFor an amount of £ 1.3 million per project and a combined generation capacity of 526 kW.
