Solar On Schools Grant Program
Wisconsin public schools spend more than $175 million annually on energy, the largest expense outside of personnel. Solar arrays offer a unique way for schools to reduce operating expenses without cutting educational programs.
Schools can also use these installations to educate and energize the next generation with hands-on renewable energy curriculum, exposing them to careers in clean energy. The demand for renewable energy jobs is only going to continue to grow as our national energy economy transitions away from fossil fuels.
The Couillard Solar Foundation, in partnership with the Midwest Renewable Energy Association (MREA), created Solar on Schools in 2019 to assist with and simplify the solar project development process.
Solar on Schools aims to help Wisconsin schools realize the financial, educational, and community benefits of going solar. Wisconsin schools are going solar.
