Schools, Colleges & Universities
Schools in the US spend hundreds of millions of dollars annual on electricity. Universities spend between $200 and $1000 per student on energy each year. Using on-site renewable energy to reducing these costs allows schools and universities to apply funds to important educational initiatives.
On-site renewable energy systems have also proved to be a great teaching tool and welcome enhancement of local curriculums. They have been used to teach students about subjects ranging from physics to public policy to economics.
Schools, universities and colleges can also be viewed as community assets. They represent gathering places for the local population and potential emergency centers in times of crisis. The energy independence afforded by on-site renewable energy considerably enhances a school's ability to serve these functions properly.
Switch provides systems well suited to school and university loads. We also provide monitoring tools and curriculum supplements that facilitate incorporating the energy system into the curriculum.
