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 can help schools reduce operational costs and meet long-term Net Zero targets, without taking on unnecessary risk.

Session highlights:
What makes a roof solar-ready? Assessing structural and waterproofing compatibility.

Funding routes, including PPAs, DfE capital grants, and Great British Energy opportunities.

Avoiding the warranty trap- How integrated roof and solar guarantees protect long-term performance.

How to spec and deliver solar with minimal disruption.

Practical insights from recent projects, including how schools have avoided capital spending while generating long-term savings.

Presentation format:
The expert-led talk will include a visual presentation featuring real project examples, roof compatibility visuals, and funding route summaries. Attendees will receive a practical checklist and guidance handout to support their post-session implementation.
