WARNING: There is no guarantee that an investor will receive either the interest or even their initial investment back. The bond is an unsecured investment in the Solar for Schools CBS and there is no guarantee or financial recourse to any ombudsman or the school in the event of default. Do not invest more than you can afford to loose.
Cost savings
The schools will pay less for solar electricity than for retail mains electricity, saving money that can be put to better use. As the solar price is linked to inflation and not mains electricity prices, the savings will increase over time. Finally, any surpluses once funders have been re-paid, go back to the schools.
CO2 savings
Solar panels produce electricity with no CO2 emissions, helping the UK to decarbonise and reduce the risk of catastrophic climate change
Energy education
The long term impact on CO2 reduction, through learning about energy, carbon and renewable energy technologies, is far greater than the direct CO2 savings from the panels alone.
Accelerating decarbonisation
Schools are ideal buildings to lead by example, to encourage their wider community to consider solar or other decarbonisation technologies. Additionally, if your money is currently invested in a UK bank, then depending on which bank that is, moving your money means you’ll stop funding a business responsible for nearly 2 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually.
