PII - Late news 24: The scolar programme for photovoltaics in the UK

The Scolar Programme for Photovoltaics is installing 100 grid-connected photovoltaic systems in schools and colleges in the UK. Participating schools gain an architecturally integrated PV array (average 600 Wp), an invertor, a dedicated computer and an Internet link via the Scolar website. Here all the performance data for the 100 schools will be available to all the others. Access is also provided to a comprehensive educational package; which covers a wide range of information on renewable and solar energy as well as project based material aimed at various key stages of the national curriculum.
