Solar and Storage for Colleges

Solar and Storage for Colleges is an important consideration for schools, colleges and university campuses looking to manage electricity expenditure and improve long-term energy performance. Because electricity supports classroom lighting, IT systems, heating and shared facilities, project planning should consider operating hours, site constraints and existing electrical infrastructure.

Battery storage can help a site use more of its own generated electricity and manage when stored energy is available, subject to system design and operating requirements. The commercial case will depend on consumption data, equipment suitability and the layout of the property.

British Power Energy works with organisations to explore solar PV, solar carports, battery storage, voltage optimisation and energy management options. Solutions should be matched to actual site needs, with attention to teaching timetables and safeguarding requirements.
