Education delivery

Energy is essential to modern society. Worldwide we consume about 26,000,000,000,000 kWh a year, yet most of us have very little idea what a kWh actually means. Our education starts by making a kWh tangible, through to understanding the challenges of generating and supplying enough clean electricity to decarbonise society completely.

Our programme is varied and interactive. Ranging from workshops and assemblies to playing with our ‘paneliser’; a tool that students can use to design a solar panel system for their school whilst learning about the balance between investment, savings and carbon reduction.

In school visits

We offer assemblies, workshops and science-based lessons either stand-alone, or in sequence. These are delivered for free as part of our package. Typically, the education visits happen alongside the annual visual inspection of your school’s solar panels. You can pick and choose what we deliver depending on your needs and time. For example, you could have a whole-school assembly followed by a breakout session with your eco group.

Assemblies & workshops

All schools with a solar system managed by Solar for Schools will receive free ongoing education for all key stages. These are delivered by our experienced in-house educators or partners:  Our assemblies are stand-alone or can be followed by a workshop or lesson and cover three learning objectives:

Why is 'going solar' important for people and the planet.

What is a kilo Watt hour (kWh)

What's the power potential of your school's solar system; and how do your solar panels generate electricity
