NCI Can Educate You On Solar
Schools face significant financial pressure to save costs. Solar allows schools to reduce electric operating costs by up to 30%. Typically, schools have large, flat rooftops that provide valuable access to direct sunlight. Financial and environmental responsibility modeled by a school installing solar is a great example to students, parents, and the community.
Our Process

Step One
NCI will assist the school system to develop goals for solar savings and provide 12 months utility usage

Step Two
NCI evaluates electrical, roof condition, roof warranty, and building structural requirements and designs solar project based upon requirements

Step Three
NCI builds customer solar proposal, identifies financing partner (if required) and explains technical & financial performance for project lifecycle

Step Four
NCI validates design and financial performance of project and signs agreement with school system and/or financier

Step Five
NCI permits and builds project

Step Six
NCI validates project completion with school system and/or financier

Solar Education

Not only does solar energy encourage practices among the student body, but many schools with solar have gone as far as integrating the system into their learning curriculum through science and math classes

Your school will make a positive impact on the environment and community

Installation of solar panels are ideal for reducing energy bills and cutting costs associated with powering a school’s facilities

Project Highlights
Scottsville Elementary School
Albemarle County, VA
This project is part one of a two phase solar install for Albemarle County School District. This 202KW rooftop PV system is comprised of 501 Jinko American made modules and utilizes Aerocompact Racking and 3 Yaskawa Solectria Solar inverters.
The NEED Project
The NEED Project, in partnership with Dominion Energy, provided 1.2 kW pole mount solar arrays for eight schools in Southwest Virginia. NCI Solar assisted with the design and installation of the arrays. These arrays are provided as an educational resource for the students and faculty as part of the Solar For Students campaign.
