1. SOLAR PV CASE STUDY
NETHERTHORPE SCHOOL
B a c k g r o u n d :
Netherthorpe School is truly thriving, standards of teaching are higher than they have ever been and
their students are achieving remarkable results. New buildings have provided them with facilities that
are a match for any in the area, yet their refurbished old buildings still lie at the heart of the school, as
they have done for many decades.
Netherthorpe School was looking for information on ways to achieve their green ambitions. Having found
Evogreen through Eco-Schools, they wanted more information on how they could not only save money
on their energy bills but also generate an income from government incentives. Netherthorpe wished to
demonstrate to their pupils that they are addressing the issue of climate change proactively as a school.
“Evogreen gave our school what we wanted, not what they thought we wanted. They were very
supportive from start to finish. I would recommend Evogreen to any potential customer, they are
professional, patient and deliver what they say you are going to get, on time.”
Neil Hemmingway - Business Manager
Mr Alan Senior Headteacher with pupils from Netherthorpe School

Solar PV • Biomass Boilers • Voltage Optimisation • Low Energy Lighting
Evogreen’s unique financial package was a
perfect fit for Netherthorpe School as it
meant that the school could balance the
payments for their Solar PV system with
their income and savings providing a ‘zero
cost to entry’.
The students have also had a valuable first
hand experience as to how they can operate
their school sustainably. They can monitor
the energy savings and generation of the
panels through the web based monitoring
system, inspiring them to make a difference.
