Garland UK hosts a practical session designed to cut through the confusion surrounding school solar installations. This content-led talk focuses on how education estates teams can overcome common barriers, including funding uncertainty, roof suitability, and fragmented warranty risks, and implement long-term, compliant solar solutions with confidence.

Drawing on real-life case studies, including a recent project where a single-point roof and solar guarantee were delivered on a live school site, Garland UK will explore how solar energy can help schools reduce operational costs and meet long-term net zero targets, without incurring unnecessary risk.

Session highlights:

• What makes a roof solar-ready? Assessing structural and waterproofing compatibility.
• Practical insights from recent projects, including how schools have avoided capital spending while generating long-term savings.
• Avoiding the warranty trap; how integrated roof and solar guarantees protect long-term performance.
• Funding routes, including PPAs and Asset Finance opportunities.

Presentation format:
The expert-led talk will include a visual presentation featuring real project examples, roof compatibility visuals, and funding route summaries
