Meeting Economic Goals
Lowering energy costs through a solar Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) enables schools to reallocate their budgets towards critical needs. Savings can be directed towards enhancing teacher salaries, funding student programs, or addressing other facility improvements. Additionally, the financial stability provided by a PPA offers long-term price certainty, shielding schools from the volatility of utility costs. With the support of federal, state, and private initiatives, switching to solar is now more accessible and affordable than ever.
Enhancing Educational Opportunities
On-site solar installations offer unique teaching and training opportunities for district officials and teachers. Each SDG solar system includes monitoring software that can be integrated into lesson plans and curricula, providing students with hands-on learning experiences about renewable energy and sustainability. Additionally, SDG experts are available to serve as guest speakers, showcasing the district's commitment to renewable energy and inspiring the next generation of environmental leaders.
Achieving Environmental Responsibility
Many states are mandating large buildings, including school facilities, to lower greenhouse gas emissions by 20% by 2030 and achieve net zero status by 2040. On-site renewable energy solutions from SDG can significantly contribute to these environmental goals. By adopting solar energy, schools can take a proactive stance in reducing their carbon footprint, demonstrating a commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship.
