Solar For Schools
Solar For Schools
What if we inspired every child in Iowa? What if we provided a tangible, real-world example of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) subjects? What if we added new habitats for monarchs and prairie pollinator species? What a difference we could make!
Here at Red Lion Renewables, we’re passionate about inspiring tomorrow’s problem-solvers to accomplish anything they put their minds to. And it all starts with solar energy for schools.

How Do We Achieve This Goal?
We achieve this goal by working together. Join our family of donors, investors, and advocates to start making a difference today.
Spread the Word – Let your school know there are options and let's start the discussion. Let your science teachers know and let's add your school to the growing curriculum. Spread the word and start the discussion. Let's inspire problem solvers of the future and save our schools much needed dollars to help spend their budgets on educating our kids.
Invest – Solar projects are eligible for depreciation expenses, tax credits, and operational revenue. Be sure to check whether you’ll be able to gain a greater return as an investor compared to a donor. We recommend consulting your tax advisor to determine the extent to which you’ll benefit depending on your specific circumstances.
Donate – As a member of our donor pool, you’ll help lower the final costs and energy bills of solar customers. We leverage your donation to provide the maximum benefit to the customer and make the biggest possible difference. Please note that most donations are tax-deductible.
More discussions, donors, investors, and clean energy supporters translate to a greater impact on our planet! And the installation of more solar arrays leads to even more people joining the solar movement. By simply being involved in the industry, you’re helping create a solar revolution much larger than any one individual’s efforts. Advocating for solar energy will inspire children across our great state. So, spread the word.
