SOLAR FOR SCHOOLS
Your buildings should work as hard as you do
You and your staff work tirelessly each and every day to better the lives of the next generation. At New Era Energy, we believe your buildings and grounds should too.
Nationally, K-12 schools spend more than $6 billion a year on energy and, according to the U.S. Department of Energy, at least a quarter of that could be saved through smarter energy management. Energy improvements could cut the nation's school bill by $1.5 billion each year.
Through Power Purchase Agreements, New Era Energy can bring solar power to your school at no cost to your school or community. Our panels will provide a 10-20% reduction in your annual energy bill, enabling your school or district to redirect these funds towards teacher salaries, technology or building improvements, curriculum, books or whichever area is most in need within your schools without increasing your school budget.
The solar industry has seen 52% average annual growth since the solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC) was enacted in 2006
