Keep the Lights On
Did you know that according to the Department of Energy, taxpayers spend around $6 billion per year on energy costs for K-12 schools?
Additionally, it is estimated that school energy costs are around 15% more than what is actually needed for day-to-day operations.
Reduce Energy Costs
The energy costs for powering public school campuses is the second-highest cost for school districts in Minnesota, after payroll. The use of on-site solar to reduce energy costs will save District budgets—and potentially local property taxpayers—hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.
Eden Prairie School District
“iDEAL Energies made things easy for me and our District. We had a goal of maximizing our on-site solar footprint so that Eden Prairie could focus spending on our students. With no capital expenditures on our part, iDEAL custom tailored a solution to meet our special requirements, executed on it professionally, and generated immediate and sustainable savings. They even developed a classroom-ready education module for our kids. I can’t recommend iDEAL Energies highly enough.”

“...iDEAL Energies has proven to be the provider that could meet all of the needs of the district with no financial investment while decreasing our monthly energy costs. They have also worked with our educators on developing solar lessons to expand teacher and student understanding of the energy production and environmental benefits of solar."

“We were interested in solar energy because we believed environmental citizenship advanced our school's mission and the economic savings and educational benefits were advantageous. We chose iDEAL Energies because we appreciated their knowledge and patience as well as trusted their outreach to us regarding this project. We were most impressed by the time-frame in which everything was completed, from the site design and assessment to the building and commissioning of the solar array.”
