Work has completed on the installation of solar photovoltaic systems into two Stockton schools as part of an educational programme.

 

Electricity-producing solar panels have been installed into Ingleby Mill Primary School in Ingleby Barwick and Bader Primary School in Thornaby as part of a programme launched by npower and Stockton Borough Council.

The npower climate cops programme runs green-themed activities for schools across the UK, and provides grants for energy-efficiency projects which are designed to reduce the Carbon Dioxide production and energy costs at the schools. The programme engages pupils with important climate change issues.

The installer chosen by Stockton Borough Council and npower was Middlesbrough-based installer Access Renewables. Sean Collier from Access Renewables said “We were delighted to be part of the programme as installers and we fully support the npower Climate Cops programme as it highlights the importance of energy efficiency in schools. The systems we have installed will save both energy and money for the schools, whilst being a visible reminder to pupils, staff and visitors to the school.”

The systems have also been installed with a display unit in both schools so that pupils can monitor the system performance regularly.
