Solar Helps Schools Save Money

Solar panels are great for schools, especially schools with large campuses. Commercial solar panel installation can offset your monthly electricity bills. Many schools have flat rooftops which are ideal for solar installation. Furthermore, many schools take advantage of parking lot solar panels to harness the sun’s energy. Some campuses are large enough to host their own solar PV farm. The Department of Energy says that schools use over $6 billion on energy each year.
