How BESS Helps Schools and Colleges Cut Costs and Emissions

Schools and colleges face tight budgets, but still require consistent, reliable energy for classrooms, labs, and facilities. Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) offer a smart way to optimise power usage while supporting sustainability goals.

Maximise Solar Investments

Educational institutions increasingly invest in solar panels. BESS helps store excess solar energy for use during evenings or cloudy days, maximising ROI.

Avoid Peak Tariffs

Using BESS, schools can avoid high energy rates during peak times by drawing from stored energy instead of the grid.

Enhance Power Reliability

BESS ensures that critical functions—like lighting, computers, and security systems—remain operational during power cuts, keeping students and staff safe.

Teach by Example

Installing BESS offers a hands-on sustainability case study. Students can learn firsthand about clean energy technology, creating educational opportunities in STEM fields.
