SCHOOLS
Cleaner, more reliable power – and a new income for your school.
Schools have exactly what solar loves: big roofs and daytime energy use. While the sun's up and the school is busy, your panels generate power precisely when you need it most – trimming the bills that eat into budgets better spent on students. Add storage and the LocalSmart System's intelligent control, and your school keeps even more of what it makes.
WHY SOLAR FOR SCHOOLS
Free up budget
Every dollar off the power bill is a dollar back into teaching and resources.
Community leadership
A visible commitment to a cleaner future that families and boards get behind.
Perfect timing
Schools use power through the day, exactly when solar generates most.
A living lesson
Real-time generation data brings science, sustainability and data to life for students.
Resilience
With storage, keep key systems running during outages - valuable for schools that double as community hubs.
No upfront barrier
Financing and Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) options mean solar without a big capital outlay.
