Solar for Schools UK

How we help installers

The estimated 3.5m schools worldwide could host around 120GW of solar. Together we can succeed...

Globally schools could host around 120GW of solar, but winning projects on schools is not easy.

We can help you win more installation and O&M contracts in the education sector. We can do this by leveraging your local sales network, using our software and offering access to funding and our unique education offers.

work with us

Want to work with us?

We are always looking for more installers and maintenance partners for the growing number of solar projects.

Do get in touch if you have experience of working in schools and are interested in more work in this market segment.

Better margins

Where we manage the procurement process for schools, we provide a very simple means for you to tender once the project has been designed and approved. If you provide us with your cost-calculation formulas, then you'll be contacted automatically when you're the best match for a project.

You'll only be contacted once the project is ready to build, so no marketing and sales costs, therefore better margins for you and better pricing for our schools.

Once a partnership is established we will prioritise your company for work in an agreed territory; resulting in both cost and carbon savings. We normally have a programme of work for 6-12 weeks giving you certainty of deployment.

better margins
improved cash flow

Improved cash flow

We use our buying power to purchase the main components: modules, inverters and mounting systems. We pay promptly on completion of works with no retentions.

Get paid to sell

Work with us to approach more schools in your area. We will provide you with website access to all the schools, and will provide training on how to use them to generate sales presentations automatically.

You can do as little or as much as you like. Your earnings are based on how much of the sales and project development you provide. As your fees are covered by a separate development budget, you can deduct your sales costs from the installation fee. This usually means you will be the most competitive bid should the school still need to go out to tender.

Work more locally

Our education support to schools encourages students to take action and decarbonise locally. This should result in additional work installing on homes and businesses around the school.

To help you get that business, we will recommend you on the relevant page for every school you introduce us to and install.
