50 kW Primary School with Salix Grant Funding

Primary school MAT wanted solar across 3 of 12 schools to demonstrate sustainability commitment, funded via Salix decarbonisation grant.

System size

50 kWp

Annual saving

£8,600/year

Payback

4.2 years (post-grant)

The Challenge

School roofs varied: 1 was south-facing slate (ideal), 2 were east-west asbestos requiring replacement. Tight summer-holiday-only install window.

Our Solution

50 kWp split across the south-facing school as priority. Asbestos replacement and 30 kWp install scheduled for July break. Education monitoring screens in each school for STEM curriculum tie-in.

The Result

All systems live by start of September term. Schools using monitoring data in classroom (year 6 maths). 4.2 year post-grant payback.
