How to Get Started
Each solar energy installation for a school or university includes several key components. Each installation consists of an array of solar panels that sit on top of a mounting rack. We typically install solar panel arrays and mounting racks on a school’s roof. However, we can also use alternative mounting locations, such as on top of a shade structure in the parking lot. Each installation also has an inverter that converts DC power into AC power that the school’s existing lighting system, AC system, and electric appliances can use. Installation for a K-12 school typically takes around three days.
Work You Can Trust
When a school system uses Fusion Power for a solar energy installation, school administrators can be confident that they are working with a trusted solar partner. Our solar professionals are NABCEP-certified, and we only use high-quality, proven solar panels and accessory components.

School Solar Panels
Features & System Benefits
Solar power for schools brings a range of benefits, and a transition to renewable energy can financial sense for most school systems. The majority of a school’s power consumption occurs during the day when classes are in session and the sun is shining at its brightest. Accordingly, schools can heavily reduce or eliminate their electricity bills from the local utility company.
In many cases, schools sell excess electricity back to the power grid through a net-metering agreement. With net-metering, some solar power installations for schools are even cash-flow positive.
In addition to saving money on energy costs, schools can take an active role in preserving the environment and building a sustainable future. A school's solar array can provide both inspiration and learning opportunities for the school's faculty and students.
Additionally, a school's solar installation can serve as an important branding opportunity and an actionable step for school-wide "going green" initiatives.

Reduce reliance on the local power grid
When a school generates its power through a solar panel installation, it does not have to rely on the local grid and can stay powered more reliably. Schools can also pair their solar panel installations with advanced battery storage systems to ensure 24/7 power.

Predictable expenses year-round
Schools can make predictable, monthly payments toward the cost of the solar panel installation. With predictable costs, a school’s finance team can create more accurate forecasts and appropriate budgets.

Setting an example for the school district
A school can differentiate itself and provide an example that renewable energy is possible for large educational organizations.
