Across the UK, schools, colleges, and universities are under increasing pressure to reduce operating costs, improve building performance, and lead the transition to net zero.
Solar energy is helping the education sector do just that, by lowering electricity bills, stabilising long term budgets, and supporting environmental commitments that align with national policy and community values.
At auron, we work with local authorities, trusts, and higher education institutions to design high performance solar systems that meet your energy goals while maximising impact for students, staff, and stakeholders.

Energy is one of the biggest recurring costs for schools, colleges, and universities, powering lighting, IT infrastructure, kitchens, heating, and ventilation across large campuses.
With auron’s solar and battery systems, education institutions can cut their electricity bills by up to 70%, and in many cases, even generate income by exporting excess power back to the grid.
By reducing overheads and unlocking new revenue streams, solar helps you reinvest in facilities, teaching, and student services, while demonstrating strong financial and environmental leadership.
From single site academies to sprawling university campuses, education providers are unlocking major financial and sustainability wins with solar.

Backed by our UK based education energy specialists
Whether you’re a local authority school, a MAT, or a leading university, auron delivers high performance solar systems that reduce costs, support climate goals, and empower the next generation to learn from your leadership.
We believe every school, college, and university should have access to clean energy, without facing financial barriers or upfront capital strain.
That’s why auron offers flexible funding options designed to work with your procurement processes, budgets, and long term goals.
Choose the model that suits your business best:
Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)
Pay nothing upfront. We install and maintain your solar system, and you simply buy the electricity it generates, at a lower rate than your current supplier.
Lease to Own
Spread the cost of your system over manageable monthly payments. You own the system at the end of the term and enjoy the full benefits throughout.
Outright Purchase
Maximise long term returns with a single upfront investment. Full ownership, full savings, full control from day one.
All options include full installation, monitoring and performance support.
Finance is available for most UK education sites, subject to eligibility.

We’ll talk you through it during your free consultation.
Got Questions? We’ve Got You Covered.
Not at all. We schedule installation to avoid term time or critical periods, often during holidays or weekends. Our DBS checked team works with your site staff to ensure zero disruption to learning.
Yes. Our Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) and Lease to Own models require no upfront investment. They’re designed to work with tight education budgets and start delivering savings from day one.
Yes, most are. We’ll assess your eligibility and walk you through funding or financing options, including support through public sector schemes, grants, and long term energy contracts.
Absolutely. Solar directly reduces your Scope 2 emissions and supports compliance with the DfE’s sustainability and climate strategy, local authority net zero plans, and Ofsted ESG considerations.
Yes, we regularly deliver multi-site projects for MATs, local authorities, and universities. We can roll out solar consistently across your estate, with a unified energy and reporting strategy.
In most cases, no. Rooftop solar on education buildings typically falls under permitted development. If permission is needed, we’ll manage the full process for you.
Yes. If your solar system generates more electricity than your site uses, particularly during holidays or off-peak times, that surplus energy can be exported back to the grid.
You can then receive payments through Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) tariffs or grid trading schemes, turning unused energy into a new source of income.
You benefit in two key ways:
Significant cost savings — most institutions cut their electricity bills by up to 70%, freeing up budget for teaching, facilities, and student services.
New income — when your system produces more energy than you need, you can sell the excess back to the grid and generate revenue, especially during holidays or low use periods.
Most schools and campuses see their system pay for itself within 2–4 years, with decades of low cost, revenue generating energy ahead.
Partnering with auron means more than just installing solar panels, it means investing in cleaner campuses, smarter budgets, and a better future for your students and staff.
We bring together advanced solar technology and deep education sector experience to help schools, colleges, and universities reduce costs, hit sustainability targets, and lead by example in the race to net-zero.
