No design and re-design work
We arrange all survey work beforehand, design the system, share the results online with you and if needed re-design the system for each school until optimal, then we arrange a preinstall visit with you and the school to confirm the build details.

Stable, growing workflow.
There are about 24,000 schools left in England and Wales without solar, at 50 a week, it would still take nearly 10 years to do them all. From nearly 2 a week currently, we still have a long way to grow with you.

-
Proven experience working in schools

DBS approved installers

Proven experience or certified with SolarEdge & SMA inverters.
-
Fully qualified electrician with sufficient IT networking skills to install inverter, meters & communications equipment.
-
Team capable of installing and commissioning a 50kWp system in 5 days without disrupting the school’s normal operations.

Capacity to source AC & DC cables, trunking, ballast, fuses and breakers as specified
Structural Engineers
Safety is paramount, yet establishing if a roof is sound at low cost is key to a solar project working for most schools.
What are we looking for?
More structural engineers who are either local to a school or can work remotely from plans and photos of the roof.
Please email us with your locations, qualifications and rates and will add you to our roster. We will be in touch with you so you can make a real difference to schools near you.
Planning Consultants and Council Planners
Most solar projects come under permitted development, if not they can die due to planning application costs, so local contacts and experience can make all the difference.
What are we looking for?
More well-connected planning consultants and council planners with experience working with schools
Please email us with details of the councils you deal with and we will be in touch when the opportunity to save the day arises.
You can also become a partner and earn additional income by showing more schools what they could achieve with solar too.
