Serving 600+ schools across Kent with holiday-only installation, full curriculum integration, and government funding support. 45 successful installations and counting.
Kent Education Solar Landscape
Kent County Council oversees one of England's largest education authorities with over 600 schools serving 240,000+ pupils. Following Kent's climate emergency declaration in 2019, there's unprecedented support for renewable energy projects across the county's educational institutions.
Schools across Canterbury (CT postcodes), Maidstone (ME postcodes), Tunbridge Wells (TN postcodes), and Dartford (DA postcodes) are experiencing energy cost increases of up to 300% since 2021. Our Kent-specific solar solutions are helping schools combat these rising costs while delivering exceptional educational benefits.
Kent's unique advantage includes its position as England's sunniest county, with 1,750 annual sunshine hours - significantly above the UK average of 1,493 hours. The county's south-facing coastal position and proximity to the English Channel creates optimal conditions for solar energy generation.
