Endorsed by the National School Boards Association, the program promotes the building of new schools that exceed code by 50 percent or more. SEFI projects support deployment of a qualifying clean energy technology and receive meaningful financial support or credit enhancements from an entity within a state agency or financing authority. . By investing in solar energy systems, schools can lower electricity expenses, reduce their carbon footprint, and provide students with valuable, hands-on learning experiences that promote clean-energy awareness. schools already use solar power systems, with that number continuing to grow as costs decline. Over a 10-year-period, those savings can reach $1. 6 million and, over the lifetime of the facility, many mil lions more. Looking at finances alone, those savings translate into the ability. . Around 1,500 NSW public schools across the state have already installed 17 megawatts of solar energy systems.
