Project Overview
At Novus Energy, we are committed to helping schools reduce their carbon footprint and cut energy costs through renewable energy solutions. One of our latest projects took us to Thornton Primary School, where we installed a 49.41kW solar PV system, providing the school with clean, renewable energy and long-term savings.
The Challenge
Like many schools across the UK, Thornton Primary School faced rising energy costs while striving to create a more sustainable learning environment. The school wanted a solution that would not only lower their reliance on the grid but also set an example for students about the importance of renewable energy.
Our Solution
Novus Energy designed and installed a 49.41kW solar PV system, tailored to meet the school’s energy demands while maximising efficiency. The system is expected to generate approximately 41,179kWh of clean electricity annually, significantly reducing energy costs and carbon emissions.
Key Benefits
✅ Lower Energy Bills – The school can now generate its own electricity, reducing reliance on costly grid energy.
✅ Sustainability in Action – By switching to solar, Thornton Primary School is actively cutting its carbon footprint.
✅ Educational Impact – The installation provided a hands-on learning opportunity for students, reinforcing the importance of renewable energy.
✅ Long-Term Savings – With solar panels designed to last for decades, the school will benefit from clean energy for years to come.
Environmental Impact
🔹 CO₂ Emissions Reduced: 9.6 tonnes annually
🔹 Equivalent Trees Planted: 480 trees (absorbing the same amount of CO₂ in a year)
🔹 Long-Haul Flights Avoided: 6 flights (CO₂ equivalent to a passenger’s round-trip long-haul flight)
A Brighter Future for Thornton Primary
This project is a testament to how schools can take control of their energy use, reduce costs, and inspire the next generation to embrace sustainability. At Novus Energy, we are proud to have helped Thornton Primary School on its journey towards a greener future.

Access Government Funding for Solar in Schools
With the UK government recently announcing £180 million in funding for solar panel installations in schools and hospitals, there has never been a better time for schools to make the switch to renewable energy. This funding is designed to help schools lower their energy bills, reduce carbon emissions, and invest in a greener future—without the upfront costs that often hold projects back.
At Novus Energy, we’re here to help schools navigate the funding process and take full advantage of this opportunity. If your school is looking to cut costs and become more sustainable, get in touch with us today to find out how we can help you secure funding and install a tailored solar energy system.
