We had a fantastic morning with Y9 top set at Seahaven Academy yesterday. What a lovely group of polite and engaged students! An invitation to return has already been given so we’re looking forward to running more of our free Renewable Energy & Carbon Footprint workshops for the other classes this Summer.

Woodingdean Primary are welcoming us back this morning for the 3rd year running! Thanks Woodingdeanps!

Our Solar Education Programme is paid for by our community Fund.

If you’d like us to visit your school email [email protected] to book.

It’s so we’ve been in Balfour Primary School, Brighton Mon & Tue with our free Renewable Energy & Carbon Footprint workshops. Teaching classes, UK, Ukraine, Uruguay & USA has been a real pleasure. Thank you for your enthusiasm!

We’re off to Carden Primary PTA this morning 📚✏️🏫📙🚸📘🚍🖌️

Maybe we should report Feb & Mar generation together! February was a disaster: 28% darker than normal! Hence, you have to go back to Feb 2021 to find a worse one. BEC generated 117MWh which is only just enough to get a Tesla up Ditchling Beacon. But that's still equivalent to over 1,400 trees planted and March is already brighter, so we think we'll make up for all this gloom soon.

It's and we're running 11 free Renewable Energy & Carbon Footprint Workshops in local Primary and Secondary schools!

Look out for us at Seahaven Academy, Balfour Primary School, Brighton, Woodingdeanps, Carden Primary PTA.

Pupils learn how electricity is made from the various resources and why each method creates a different carbon footprint on the Earth. It's fun STEM learning via solar car building and racing.

March and April dates are already fully booked, but if you'd like us to visit your school between 6-10 July email us now at [email protected]

Our friends at Worthing CREW are holding a Drop-in session on 'Energy Worthing' next Tues 10th March 11am - 12.30pm. They'll be discussing solar & energy saving, plus the idea of setting up an Energy Company for Worthing, to generate locally produced clean energy for the benefit of local businesses and residents.

All welcome, free admission. At the Community Hub, New Pavilion, Beachhouse Park, Lyndhurst Road, Worthing, BN11 2DB.

We've already given free solar to Worthing's Splashpoint Leisure Centre and hope to fund more large scale community solar projects in the area. OUr free Renewable Energy & Carbon Footprint workshops are also being promoted to local schools via the Worthing Crew network.

Fascinating! 🌞 Our trip to Corrie Energy Partners to see their solar tracking system that delivers up to 30% more electricity per solar panel was an eye opener 👁️

Corrie Energy’s dedicated R&D site, The Old Farm Shop near Abingdon in Oxfordshire, includes both fixed and tracking solar installations. Since 2021, it has served as a laboratory for testing, validating and refining Corrie’s tracker technology.
