Our Solution

 

 

 

Our Client Said

 

“Our vision for the school was to become more sustainable and community-involved; our pupils really embraced the idea and were keen to do something bigger. At the same time the school was under pressure to reduce costs and I struggled to see how we could improve efficiency with little funds. In return for our roof space, the solar installation will reduce our energy costs while supporting a very worthwhile community initiative.”

 

"OVESCO and Southern Solar came along at the right time and made things easy. We got on with running the school knowing we were cutting carbon and would soon have more money to spend on learning and resources."
