Solar Farm in a Box
A concept born from COVID-19 which we have now extended.
We have packaged together resources and equipment to bring a solar farm to life in the classroom.
In the box you will find solar powered circuits, solar toys, wildflower seed mixes, books, lesson plans and information leaflets. The activities are supported with a webinar and our educational films.
These can be reused throughout each class in the school.
*coming soon - Wind Farm in a Box
“We have used all the resources from the Solar Farm in a Box. The children loved it, especially the solar cells and the buzzers.””
Power Your School
Students map their school and local area, then predict optimal sites for solar panels and/or a wind turbine. Using scientific equipment and techniques to measure light and wind they draw conclusions and present the case for powering their school.
Educational Films
Since 2020, we’ve been producing a series of educational films designed to bring renewable energy to life for students—both in the classroom and at home. These films provide an inside look at real renewable energy sites while exploring the science, technology, and environmental impact behind them.
To date, we’ve covered a range of topics, including biodiversity on solar farms, how solar energy is generated and delivered to our homes, career opportunities in the renewable sector, and the step-by-step construction of a solar farm. Each film offers a fresh perspective on solar energy and its role in building a more sustainable future.

"Tracy introduced us to a national programme linked to the University of Cambridge (Energy Mapping Project) where we have to track our wind and sun measurements over a sustained period of time. This is great for data analysis, Maths and recording data. This gives us a real purpose for learning and helps the children understand the importance of Science. We have two children already inputting the data on a regular basis.”Class Teacher, North Mundham Primary
