What type of solar power systems are commonly used in schools?
Stand-alone and grid connect are the most commonly installed systems in schools. Grid connect systems are mostly found in built up areas and supply solar electricity directly to the school through an inverter or mains electricity grid if the system is providing more energy than the school needs. Stand alone systems usually operate in schools in remote areas where there is no mains supply or supply is unreliable. The energy created by a stand alone system is stored in battery banks.
