Solar on Schools Module Grant Application

PLEASE NOTE:

The Midwest Renewable Energy Association (MREA) will process your Solar on Schools grant request when we receive this completed application along with a solar site assessment and/or preliminary proposal from a solar company. Other documentation is not required, but is encouraged (i.e. a case study, solid timeline, draft RFP, etc.)

This grant is intended for schools that are already in the process of procuring a solar PV system, (i.e. have a budget/plan, solar site assessment(s), a timeline in place, etc.) and NOT for schools that are just beginning the process. The Couillard Solar Foundation cannot hold modules for extended periods of time. Therefore, the Solar on Schools grant Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) remains valid for 12 months from date of receipt, meaning your schools needs to begin installation within 12 months of the MOU being processed.

Upon completion of this application, and if your school is accepted to receive a Solar on Schools grant, you will be subsequently contacted and provided with a populated MOU.

Please Review the Solar on Schools Module Grant Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) Template before continuing with the application.

Publicity & Education*
One goal of Solar on Schools is to use schools that receive grants as models to educate and inspire more schools to pursue solar energy systems of their own. There are several ways your school could use the visibility of your project to educate your community, students, and/or the public about the benefits of solar, including hosting a dedication ceremony, leading a solar workshop, inviting local officials for a tour, creating case studies, formulating renewable energy classroom material, and more. Please describe your plan for educating your community about solar energy.
Publicity & Education
Please put the names, titles, and email addresses for any faculty, staff, or teachers that would be interested in receiving resources on integrating solar into school curriculum.
