The Australian Government is backing our schools in the fight against climate change. The National Solar Schools Program is giving Australian schools a head start in tackling climate change and conserving our precious water supplies.
Our schools can harness the power of the sun in meeting one of the biggest challenges confronting our planet. This exciting new program will help primary and secondary schools around the country take practical action to save energy and water while cutting their utility bills.
National Solar Schools offers grants of up to $50 000 (GST exclusive) to install solar and other renewable power systems, solar hot water systems, rainwater tanks and a range of energy efficiency measures.
Please see the National Solar Schools Program Guidelines for the full list of eligible items.
