      Our school had them installed before the summer holidays. Seems like a really good initiative.

      I think its an amazing idea but, and I don’t get the rationale here – if you are hiring the labour to go up on the roof, why wouldn’t you cover the roof rather than just put up 16 panels which would just about be enough for a residential house.

      I’m not criticising the scheme itself, just more a bit confused why they wouldn’t have pushed for full use of the roof.

      Excellent initiative. Right now on this dull October day our system at home is generating 600w and the house is consuming 400w, with the balance being fed to the grid. Another impact of having the panels and an app to show what’s going on is you become more conscientious about energy usage. Are we using low energy bulbs, did you turn that thing off rather than onto standby, etc.

      Since installing the system our electricity bills have taken a serious dent both from usage and selling electricity back to the grid.

      The price of solar panels is falling and it really is a quiet energy revolution going on with more and more buildings getting them put on.

      I’ll give it to them, this is a very good idea. Have to agree with the other poster though that putting far more panels up per school might make sense given schools typically have a lot of roofspace.

      And as with all good things to come from the Greens there will be pretty much hardly any mention (if any at all) that it was their idea,

      I always believed that schools and other public buildings should have solar panels fitted, and it would reduce the spending from the Departments year after year. I’d even go as far and say that schools and other large public buildings should have a rainwater harvesting system for toilets too.

      Cheap and meaningful improvement of the country, more of that please.

      Designing energy efficient, modern schools would be better than wasting money on non efficient renewable solar panels.

      This scheme kicked off a year ago. Good to see it expanding.

      This is great, but the big problem is that a lot of older schools have older wiring that has not been checked or certified in many years.

      A supplier will happily put up panels for x amount, but there many a lot be a lot more needed to bring the wiring up to spec. We need the right contractor to do this, not just any contractor to throw panel on a roof.
