Solar panels for schools across East Riding of Yorkshire
We survey school and college roofs throughout East Riding of Yorkshire, model what each one carries against the school's own consumption, and arrange the design, the grid application and the installation through an MCS-certified partner.

The school estate in East Riding of Yorkshire
East Riding of Yorkshire has 150 open state-funded schools and colleges teaching 44,348 pupils, spread across 1 local authorities. Source: DfE Get Information About Schools.
Of those, 128 primary, 18 secondary, 3 special and 1 further education. The phase mix is what sets the usable roof area across a county: secondary sites and colleges carry the sports halls, dining blocks and flat roofs, while primaries offer a hall and a teaching block each and suit arrays sized to the base load.
Solar for education buildings and what a East Riding of Yorkshire roof models
Modelled yield is consistent across East Riding of Yorkshire, from 858 kWh per kWp a year at Goole to 870 at Driffield. At that spread, where the school stands is not what decides the scheme. The timetable is. Source: EU PVGIS v5.2.
Every town page below carries the same arithmetic for that town, including the share of the year that lands in July and August, which is the number a governing body should see before a saving figure.
Solar PV for academy trusts on the East Riding of Yorkshire planning record
No school or college solar scheme appears for the East Riding of Yorkshire towns we cover in the Renewable Energy Planning Database. That reflects the reporting threshold rather than an empty county: the database captures generating stations from one megawatt upward reliably, and a school array is a fraction of that. Source: Renewable Energy Planning Database, Q1 2026.
Connections across the county run through Northern Powergrid. Anything above 3.68 kW per phase needs a G99 application, and on a school site the incoming supply and the size of the existing main switchboard are often the real constraint rather than the roof.
- Bridlington 859 kWh/kWp
- Beverley 864 kWh/kWp
- Goole 858 kWh/kWp
- Hessle 868 kWh/kWp
- Driffield 870 kWh/kWp
- Hull 867 kWh/kWp
Book a roof survey at a East Riding of Yorkshire school
Send the school postcode and the rough roof area, with half hourly meter data if the trust holds it. We come back with what the roofs carry, what they generate against the timetable rather than against an annual average, and how schools pay for it.
Lenzie Consulting Ltd arranges the survey and introduces an MCS-certified installation partner. We do not install, and nothing on this page is a guarantee of a saving.
