Power Solutions for Educational Institutions

POWER SOLUTIONS FOR EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS

Reliable and Sustainable Energy for Schools and Universities

Educational institutions, from K-12 schools to major universities, require dependable and cost-effective energy solutions to support their diverse operations. From powering classrooms and research labs to serving as emergency gathering zones or voting centers, schools play a critical role in their communities.

Power Storage Solutions helps schools reduce energy costs, improve resiliency, and adopt sustainable practices, allowing them to focus on their core mission—education.

Why Educational Institutions Need Reliable Power

Power outages in educational institutions can have significant consequences, including:

Safety and Security: Campus safety systems, including lighting, security cameras, and emergency alarms, rely on a continuous power supply.

Disruption of Learning: Schools, colleges, and universities rely on electricity to run classrooms, labs, and essential student services. Power loss can bring operations to a halt.

Research and Lab Equipment: Many research facilities and labs house sensitive equipment that cannot be interrupted. An unexpected power outage can jeopardize important experiments and projects.

Community Service: Schools often serve as community hubs, providing emergency shelter during natural disasters or voting stations during elections, and it’s crucial that these services are powered.

Why Educational Institutions Need Reliable Power

Power outages in educational institutions can have significant consequences, including:

backup & redundant power systems

Schools and universities rely on consistent power to keep their facilities operational, even during grid outages. We design and implement standby generators, uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems, and off-grid solutions to ensure uninterrupted operations during emergencies, extreme weather, or natural disasters.

energy optimization for reduced costs

Energy is one of the largest expenses for educational institutions, with U.S. colleges spending approximately $14 billion annually and K-12 schools spending around $8 billion. By implementing battery storage systems, peak shaving technologies, and energy monitoring tools, we help schools lower electricity bills and reallocate savings to educational programs, teacher salaries, and infrastructure improvements.

emergency preparedness

Schools often serve as critical community hubs during emergencies, making reliable energy essential. Our systems provide off-grid power and islanded configurations to ensure continuous operations during grid instability, severe weather, or public emergencies.

custom microgrid solutions

Microgrids offer schools a modern approach to energy management, integrating renewables like solar and wind, battery storage, and traditional power sources to reduce costs, emissions, and reliance on the grid. These systems are especially beneficial for:

Research and Development: Universities can use microgrids as applied energy laboratories, offering students hands-on experience with cutting-edge technologies.

Sustainability Goals: Hundreds of educational institutions have pledged to achieve carbon neutrality, and microgrids play a vital role in reaching these goals.

energy expansion & future-proofing

As schools grow and energy demands increase with the use of technology, we assist with expanding existing power systems by adding energy storage capabilities and modernizing infrastructure. These upgrades support long-term reliability and grid independence.

monitoring & power management

Our advanced monitoring solutions enable schools to track energy consumption, optimize usage, and manage production for maximum efficiency and savings.
