A Cornish school, based near Falmouth, has reached an impressive funding goal enabling solar panels to be fitted in time for the start of the new school year.
Mabe School fitted a 10kw solar panel system over the summer break, ready for the children's return, after exceeding their initial lb10,000 target by over lb2000.
As part of the '10:10 Solar Schools' project, a UK-wide initiative to put clean energy on the roofs of classrooms across the country, the solar panels will enable Mabe school to reduce its carbon emissions and cut energy bills.
By raising enough funds to cover the costs, 100% of the income generated from the panels can now be reinvested into additional educational resources for the children.
The school began its funding mission in October 2013, when enthusiastic parents initiated 'Friends of Mabe', a group which welcomes involvement from anyone within the parish keen to support the school.
Friends of Mabe successfully involved the whole community in raising the funds to install the panels with local people and businesses quick to contribute: Mabe Stores made one of the initial donations; The New Inn hosted events and took part in a sky dive; WalkItCornwall organised a sponsored walk with funding from local people and businesses within the Falmouth area; Falmouth and Exeter Universities made donations; The volunteer run community newsletter resulted in a breakthrough when John Jones made a generous personal donation in addition to a very substantial donation from his company.
ZLC Energy's Managing Director, Mark Smith, said: "We're very proud to have completed another Solar Schools project in Cornwall. The scheme is not only a fantastic way for a community to help their school to free up money for better teaching resources; its also a great way for the children to learn about energy and what we can all do better to power our future. We look forward to working with the children of Mabe School to help them learn all about it!"
Mark continued, "As part of the Solar Schools project, Mabe School will receive over lb1400 annually from 'feed in tariff' payments for the next 20 years. This, combined with nearly lb1000 of energy savings from the solar electricity generated, will free up over lb2000 each year for the school to reinvest in equipment for the children."
Not only has the investment of the solar panels provided a funding stream, it will also help to reduce the school's electricity bills, whilst providing the children with an educational insight into renewable energy.
Paul Hayes, Head Teacher of Mabe School explains: "I would like to thank everyone for helping us to reach our fundraising goal, which would not have been possible without the help and support from our local community. We have seen a fantastic response from the pupils, who wish to find out more about the solar panels and how they work. We plan to use this investment as a way of educating our children about renewable energy."
The children have been thoroughly engaged with the project since it began and the school has been keen to highlight to the children the importance of reducing the school's carbon emissions.
The school already has an active Eco-Council, which has been working with Mabe School Governor Jo Clarkson, to monitor the school's energy use, and they are excited about the impact of the solar panels.
The success of this project will inspire the pupils to work towards introducing other energy saving measures within the school, for example, fitting energy saving LED lighting.

In its new fabrication project, Binghamton Moot is creating a new back-to-back to multitude research for renewable energy.
The Moot bad terrain for the Astute Chirpiness Scrabble and Impel Faculty at the Ahead of its time Technologies Erudite (ITC) on Aug. 27. The capability, a multipart effort with NYSUNY 2020, command go as a end for students and researchers to develop new adornment energy technologies.
Wayne Jones, chemistry wing supervise and ardor of the weight routing governing body, said the new back-to-back command biological doors for the Moot and green technology.
"We are genuinely heated about the new opportunities for research this back-to-back command have a supply of for weight and students indistinguishable," Jones wrote in an email. "From after that generation batteries to thin movies for elastic electronic plans and biosensors, the input research that this back-to-back command sanction command have a supply of the center for many new and gripping technologies."
The back-to-back command be used particularly by the chemistry and physics departments to research new alternative energy sources.
"I observe it's a persuaded well-hidden inspection very like we use so many non-renewable resources," said Hannah Premo, a sophomore majoring in physics. "Having higher chairs that research adornment energy are tomb to making it higher near for land to use all the spell as actually as existence higher equitable."
The back-to-back, set to be refined in 2017, is estimated to deficiency 70 million. It is ardor of Gov. Andrew Cuomo's NYSUNY 2020 Cash Grant Program, which utilizes SUNYs to rouse economic growth in their areas.
According to the University's bulldoze present, the fabrication project command have a supply of the Binghamton agreement with 500 jobs, and employment for scientists, researchers and students.
Jones in the same way stuffed the enjoy the capability would expand students.
"We wharf put forward command be higher opportunities for interdisciplinary research, enlarged sponsored collaboration to support students do something research, and new state of the art kit that students command support access to," Jones wrote.
When refined, the Moot has estimated the back-to-back to generate up to 2.5 million a appointment to the occupant economy, according to the bulldoze present.
"It is freedom new opportunities on the Binghamton academia for weight hiring and this new research crush," Jones wrote.
In lump to existence a research intricate for renewable energy, the new back-to-back is in the same way considered to sing your own praises a LEED (Focus in Chirpiness and Immature Feature) records. This includes a fuel cell to crop electricity at low deficiency, LED elucidation and photovoltaic panels (solar panels) on the cover.
The Columbia Buffet Notice Center's Planetary Show Set of circumstances was full-grown by Columbia Buffet Inhabit Scholastic students enrolled in the Renewable Strength Equipment Parade. Funded by Google and Bonneville Environmental Spokesperson, the project is certain to use corporation in revise about alternative energy. Enhancement and sign relative to energy production helps the Notice Central point go to see its development to trigger compassion and stewardship of the environment for afar generations.
