Solar Panels for Schools in Boise and Across Idaho

At EGT Solar, helping schools invest in solar energy means investing in the communities that we call home. Many of our team members grew up in Boise or elsewhere in Idaho, and many of us now have children in the Boise School District. That local connection makes working with schools especially meaningful to us.

We bring more than 15 years of residential and commercial solar installation experience to school projects. Our approach pairs high-efficiency rooftop solar panels with advanced performance monitoring, helping districts pursue their clean energy goals while keeping track of their investment.

Helping Schools Reduce Energy Costs and Support Students

School solar installations offer an opportunity to lower electricity costs and free up resources for educational programs and facility improvements. By generating power on-site, schools can reduce the electricity they purchase from the grid. Actual savings depend on the building’s energy use, system design, and utility rates.

For our team, installing solar at schools is about helping local districts make thoughtful, long-term investments that support students and environmental responsibility. We’re proud to bring local experience and a personal commitment to the Idaho communities we serve.
