Solar Energy for Higher Education & K-12
Practice what you teach, and save big with solar
Across the United States, more colleges, universities, and school districts are moving towards a renewable and productive learning environment. Telamon Energy Solutions not only helps organizations reduce the growing electricity costs for educational facilities, but also provides a positive learning experience in harnessing renewable energy for the future generations of our country. Learn more about solar energy for education by reducing energy consumption and increasing energy efficiency in your classrooms.
Economic Benefits of Solar Energy in Higher Education
According to the Department of Energy, taxpayers are spending $6 billion on energy costs for K-12 schools. That’s more than technology and textbooks combined. Electricity costs are one of the few areas of a school's budget that can’t be trimmed without negatively affecting the student experience. Solar power provides a more efficient way for schools to reduce their fixed expenses while meeting their energy needs.
Savings Stats
K-12 schools with solar installations = 3,752
Combined electricity costs from those schools = $77.8 million
This combined value could pay the salary for 2,200 new teachers or 155,000 tablets for students
Why Should Your School Go Solar Now?
The longer your school waits to go solar, the more it costs. If your school is a private school, you are eligible for the solar federal investment tax credit, which is equal to 30 percent of the solar installation. Unfortunately under current statues these rates will decrease to 26 percent in 2020, 22 percent in 2021, and only 10 percent after 2021. If your school is a public sector institution you may be eligible for solar leasing programs or power purchase agreements, (depending upon state regulations) with no money down. Solar energy systems from Telamon Energy Solutions will start saving you money the day your system is activated, and throughout the life of the solar energy system.
