Solar for Schools: Cutting Energy Costs and Boosting Sustainability
In this article, we''ll explore how solar helps schools cut costs, the environmental benefits it provides, and why it''s a smart, forward-thinking choice for any school.
Nearly 5,500 schools currently use solar energy systems. This number will continue to grow rapidly as solar panel efficiencies improve and manufacturing costs decline.
The cost of solar varies by state and incentive programs, but the general cost of a system can range from $1.75 to $2.75 per watt installed. The recent decline in installation prices, along with increasing electricity costs, can make solar one of the most cost-effective ways to save energy.
A fundamental reason for solar power's success in K-12 schools is the wide range of benefits offered to stakeholders. Nearly 5,500 schools currently use solar energy systems and that number will continue a rapid ascent as solar panel efficiencies improve and manufacturing costs decline.
Solar power is becoming more cost-effective due to the recent decline in installation prices. Along with increasing electricity costs, this makes solar one of the most cost-effective ways to save energy.
