Schools are perfect for solar. A solar array produces energy during daylight hours when students are in school, which means that electricity is used to assist in educational activities.

Solar on the roof of a school enhances this long-term investment with impressive guarantees.

Under the NEW ZEALAND SOLAR SCHOOLS programme Power Technology has successfully installed many different sized solar arrays on to over 80 schools in New Zealand with impressive guarantees.

Every facet of the programme is managed by our experts, and the NEW ZEALAND SOLAR SCHOOLS programme is available to EVERY school across New Zealand.

Design, supply, and installation of a solar power system:

Our experts design a solution to meet the school’s energy demand. The requisite components are then supplied and installed by our crew to ensure optimal performance, minimal disruption to school activities and ensure the long-life operation of the system in each school.

Finance:

We provide highly flexible solar finance. Each school is different, and our purchase options provide a variety of solutions to enable every school to go solar.

Monitoring & Data sharing:

The performance of the school’s solar power and (optionally) energy consumption at the school is monitored and reported live in real-time data.

Educational Learning Experience: Our team includes highly experienced professional educators who will guide your schools nominated staff through a solar learning programme and interactive experience for your students.

STEM:

The Solar Energy and Energy Efficiency education programme revolves around all aspects of STEM as it is based on Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths.

How To Future Proof Your School

Schools are now installing larger solar arrays with five of the most recent schools installing more than 20 kW solar arrays.

There is a huge impact having a solar array on the school roof as it is a great visual example of a percentage of the school’s electricity being produced from a renewable source right where the students can see it, use it, and learn about it.

New Zealand schools are already investing in the future of energy. Where to next?

As the popularity of electric vehicles soars, EV charging stations are emerging everywhere. But there are few places where EV chargers are used more often than schools and universities.

Adding EV charging stations to your school Solar PV system will have multiple benefits.

We are thrilled to be helping schools here in New Zealand on their journey to optimise their Solar PV + EV asset relationship.

If you also want to encourage sustainability at your school and have an extra source of income, EV charger stations are a perfect addition to your school with or without a Solar PV system.

It is an exciting time as New Zealand schools embrace Solar Energy and Power Technology will continue to lead the way.
