Funded LED lighting, Solar PV and EV charging for education
Reduce energy costs and improve the learning environment with funded LED lighting and controls, solar PV and EV charging — plus maintenance, monitoring and remedial works to keep everything performing.
Cut energy waste across your estate, fast
No upfront cost options available. Fixed monthly service fee. Minimal disruption.
Schools waste energy when buildings are empty, and budgets are under pressure. eEnergy helps education estates teams and finance leaders deliver practical upgrades that stack up commercially:
-
LED lighting upgrades for schools (including controls) to reduce consumption and improve light quality
-
Solar PV for schools — rooftop, carport or ground-mount — to reduce grid reliance
-
EV charging for schools and colleges for staff, fleet and visitors
-
Funding that avoids large upfront capex, with clear service and aftercare
We also support organisations that need to fix underperforming systems — faulty LED fittings, failing solar inverters, or unreliable EV chargers — with the option to take over O&M and performance management.

We truly understand schools
Wherever you are in your decarbonisation journey, we help you move quickly — with funded delivery, minimal disruption, and proven aftercare across education estates.
Lack of capital funding.
We deliver funded LED lighting, solar PV and EV charging with options designed to keep budgets predictable.
Transparency in savings available.
You get clear reporting on project outputs and performance, so finance and estates can track what’s working.
Lack of knowhow and resources.
We manage the end-to-end process — survey, design, delivery, compliance and stakeholder comms — without loading your team.
Other pressing priorities.
We focus on upgrades that reduce costs and operational risk, freeing up funds for frontline outcomes.
We improve four fundamental areas
Save energy and reduce your carbon footprint by improving four fundamental areas with no upfront cost.
Reduce: LED and controls.
Upgrade to efficient LED lighting and smart controls to reduce consumption and improve learning environments.

Already have LED, solar PV or EV chargers — but performance is poor? We can help
If your current provider isn’t delivering, or equipment is failing, we can help you stabilise performance quickly:
-
Solar PV O&M for schools: monitoring, fault finding, remedial works, inverter issues and underperformance
-
EV charger maintenance: reliability issues, comms faults, safety checks, usage reporting and repairs
-
LED lighting warranty issues: failed drivers, flicker complaints, emergency lighting problems and remedial replacements
Start with a discovery call. If we can improve performance, we’ll recommend the quickest route: remedial works, maintenance takeover, or a replacement programme.
Testimonial
We’ve never had so many positive comments about contractors going into schools before. Pupils and teachers leave at the end of their school day and then magically the next morning the lights are brighter, the area is just as clean and they’re in a nicer learning environment. We were really happy with the turnkey solution and the finance model.
How it works
At eEnergy, we make education energy upgrades simple. Whether you need a funded LED lighting upgrade, solar PV, EV charging — or help fixing underperforming systems — we start with a discovery meeting, validate everything with a risk-free survey, then deliver with minimal disruption and long-term aftercare.

Frequently asked questions
How do schools fund LED lighting with no upfront cost?
Schools can deliver a funded LED lighting upgrade using a service-style agreement where the provider pays for installation and the school pays a fixed monthly fee. The goal is that savings from lower energy use and fewer failures help offset the monthly cost, avoiding large upfront capex.
Is there a free discovery call or site assessment?
Yes. We start with a complimentary Discovery Meeting to understand your estate, priorities and constraints. If it’s a fit, we complete a risk-free survey and assessment to validate scope, compliance, disruption planning and expected outcomes, before you decide whether to proceed.
Can you take over maintenance of existing solar PV or EV charging?
Yes. We can assess underperforming solar PV and EV charging, then deliver remedial works or take over O&M. This includes solar PV maintenance for schools (monitoring, fault finding and inverter issues) and EV charger maintenance (reliability, comms faults, safety checks and repairs) to reduce downtime.
What’s the process from survey to install to aftercare?
The process is straightforward: Discovery Meeting, risk-free survey, proposal and funding route, phased delivery, commissioning and handover, then ongoing maintenance and performance management. Works are planned around education requirements such as safeguarding, access windows and minimising term-time disruption.
How long does an LED lighting upgrade take in a school or MAT?
It depends on the number of buildings, access windows and whether you’re adding controls. Many projects are delivered in phases to minimise disruption, often using evenings, weekends or holiday periods where appropriate. After the survey, we provide a clear programme showing installation sequencing, site access requirements and expected completion dates.
Can you help with failed LED drivers, flicker complaints, emergency lighting issues, or inverter faults?
Yes. We support education estates with fault finding and remedial works for common issues including failed LED drivers, flicker complaints, emergency lighting non-compliance, and underperforming solar PV inverters. We can also review the wider system design and maintenance setup to prevent repeat failures and improve reliability going forward.
