Compare the market
Solar PV systems are a fantastic way to take action on climate change and reduce energy costs but with many suppliers and funders in the market, many organisations do not know where to start or are worried about making the wrong decision.
As a trusted advisor to the academies sector, Barker is helping schools and Trusts install Solar PV systems that offer the optimum returns for the school.
At Barker we do not favour particular products, suppliers, finance models or procurement routes. Our impartial advice will help you make the best decision for your organisation and obtain best value.
• Systems optimised for the school, not the installer or funder.
• Different funding options assessed to enable schools and trusts to make the right decision for their organisation.
• Competitive procurement process to achieve value for money and compliance with the Academies Handbook.
• Professional project management and technical due diligence. No false promises, no hidden surprises.
Generate your own energy with Solar PV
The more energy you can generate, the less reliant on shifting energy prices you will be. A school can typically generate 25% of its electricity on site from Solar PV panels.
Funding solutions are available to enable schools and trusts to do this even if they do not have available capital.
