Energy education

Meaningful science and sustainability, learning from the solar on the roof.

Inspiring the next generation through solar

At Solar for Schools, education is at the heart of everything we do. We don’t just install solar panels on school rooftops — we turn them into powerful tools for learning. Our goal is to help students understand the energy transition, climate change, and their role in building a more sustainable future.
