Empowering North Carolina’s Students and Schools Through Renewable Energy Initiatives
In a rapidly evolving energy landscape, solar power has emerged as a beacon of sustainability, especially in educational institutions. A recent report highlighted that one in nine U.S. K-12 students now attends a school with solar panels. This milestone is a testament to the growing commitment to renewable energy across the nation, and North Carolina is no exception.
At the forefront of this solar revolution in the Tar Heel State are NC GreenPower and NC Solar Now, two organizations dedicated to expanding access to clean energy and educating the next generation on the importance of sustainability, through the Solar+ Schools program.
NC GreenPower: Leading the Charge for Solar in Schools
NC GreenPower, a pioneering non-profit, has been instrumental in bringing solar energy to North Carolina’s schools. Through their Solar+ Schools program, they have provided matching grants to help K-12 schools install small solar PV systems. These systems not only reduce energy costs for schools but also serve as educational tools, helping students learn about renewable energy firsthand. A key initiative of the program is to provide continuing STEM education topics for teachers and students. Providing not only renewable energy but awareness for teachers, students, and parents.
Since the inception of the Solar+ Schools program in 2015, NC GreenPower has supported the installation of solar panels at numerous schools across the state, empowering students with the knowledge and experience to become future leaders in renewable energy. The program’s impact is far-reaching, offering both immediate financial savings and long-term educational benefits. We have installed systems on over 60 schools across the great state of North Carolina.
NC Solar Now: Partnering for a Sustainable Future
As a trusted solar installer in North Carolina, NC Solar Now has a long-standing commitment to supporting the community and promoting renewable energy. In partnership with initiatives like NC GreenPower’s Solar+ Schools, NC Solar Now is helping to make solar installations more accessible to schools throughout the state.

The Benefits of Solar Energy for Schools
The benefits of solar energy for schools go beyond just reducing energy costs. Solar panels provide a unique, hands-on learning experience for students, allowing them to explore the science behind renewable energy. This hands-on education is crucial in preparing the next generation to tackle the environmental challenges of tomorrow.
Moreover, schools that adopt solar energy demonstrate a commitment to sustainability, setting an example for students and the community. The shift to solar energy can also enhance a school’s reputation, attracting eco-conscious families and staff.
Looking Ahead: Expanding Solar in North Carolina Schools
With the combined efforts of NC GreenPower and NC Solar Now, the future of solar energy in North Carolina’s schools is bright. As more schools adopt solar power, the impact on both the environment and education will continue to grow.
NC Solar Now is proud to support this movement, offering expert solar installation services to schools across the state. By choosing solar, schools not only invest in their future but also in the future of their students and communities.
For schools interested in exploring solar energy options, NC Solar Now is here to help. Together with NC GreenPower, we can make North Carolina’s schools a model of sustainability for the entire nation.
