The site
Swanlea School is a secondary school in Central London with over 1,000 students. Its electricity use peaks in term-time daylight hours, which lines up closely with solar generation.

Solar generation on an education site. The Swanlea School project brings rooftop solar into a busy school environment, with electricity generated on the premises.

Solar4Business designed and installed the array on the school roof.
Schools rarely have capital budgets for energy projects. The case study describes a fully funded PPA: the system was funded and installed with no upfront cost, and the school buys the electricity it generates.
Project details are taken from Solar4Business's published case study. Your proposal will reflect your own roof, half-hourly electricity use and funding route, so another installation's size or performance is not a forecast for your premises.
