Goal
"Central to this is our aspiration to retain as much as possible of the benefits for the schools, their students and the surrounding communities. We also provide educational support to our schools and work with the schools and local community groups to maximise the environmental, educational and community impact of the solar installations." "Our primary goal is to support schools and their community. Investors are provided with a fair interest return but no one profits at the school’s expense. The Co-op exists to enable its member schools successfully to install renewable energy and to support them in their environmental, educational and community work. It is not purely a financial arrangement."
