The Schools’ Energy Co-operative installs community funded solar panel systems on schools free of charge as well as paying all its profits to its member schools. Central to this is the aspiration to retain as much as possible of the benefits for the schools, their students and the surrounding communities. Schools' Energy Co-op also provides educational support to local schools and works with the schools and local community groups to maximise the environmental, educational and community impact of the solar installations. Schools’ Energy Co-operative was originally launched in August 2014 to install a 150 kW solar PV system at Glenleigh Park Primary Academy in Bexhill, East Sussex. This is still one of the largest community owned school solar systems in the country. Today the co-operative counts 715 members with an installed capacity of 2.5 MW on 72 schools. The Board appointed Energy4All to carry out the day-to-day management & administration of the Co-op.
