Renewable Energy Solar Panels and Wind Turbines
LEADING THE WAY WITH RENEWABLE ENERGY
Renewable Energy for Educational Establishments
Photon Energy has worked closely with many schools, higher and further education colleges and universities across the UK installing solar PV, solar water heating and wind turbines.
Schools represent an important area for the installation of renewable energy technologies, exposing the next generation to broader energy issues as well as generating revenue for the school or local authority.
Our staff developed the City and Guilds 2372 Certificate in Installing and Testing Photovoltaic (PV) Systems - the only nationally recognised training course for solar PV installers. We can also assist in training FE College Staff on solar PV in order that they can more confidently deliver the City and Guilds Course.
Universities with their student accommodation represent an ideal opportunity for solar PV and solar water heating installations. These systems, as well as wind turbines can be used as teaching aids and even research tools as well as generating revenue.
With many renewable energy technologies now having payback periods of between 5 and 10 years; it makes financial sense to use a finance option to invest in a system. The revenue from the feed-in-tariff can be used to cover the cost of the finance over a 10 year term, leaving up to 15 years’ benefit from the Feed-in-Tariff.
