Egni Co-op has installed solar panels at Portmead and Glyncollen primary schools in Swansea, adding to the three schools in the Welsh city that had PV installed in September.
A 30kW system consisting of 80 panels has been installed at Portmead and 24kW with 64 panels at Glyncollen.
In September, 220kW of rooftop solar was set up at Pentrehafod, Gowerton and Pontardulais.
Egni co-director Rosie Gillam said: “It’s great that Swansea schools and the Council are taking action on climate change, and that these systems have been fully commissioned during Wales Climate Week.
“We are really pleased that other Swansea schools are coming forward, keen to take part in the programme.”
Swansea Council is working in collaboration with Egni Co-op and the Welsh Government Energy Service to help the authority in its aims to become a carbon neutral by 2030.
Further school projects will follow and the partners are also looking at extending the scheme to non-school buildings.
Most of the electricity generated will be used at the schools, cutting carbon emissions from the schools by about 1600 tonnes over the next 20 years.
Cabinet Member for Homes, Energy and Service Transformation Andrea Lewis said: “We are delighted with this increase in clean green power on our schools in Swansea.
“Earlier this year we declared our climate emergency and I’d like to thank everyone involved for moving rapidly to take action in response to this declaration.
“This was achieved at a time when we are facing so many other pressures and I want to thank all the council officers involved for ensuring that the project was completed on time and to such good effect.
“The cost of these solar installations was funded by Egni Co-op and all surpluses will be spent on education projects so it’s a very good partnership approach for the Council.”
“The council is determined to take a lead on tackling the climate crisis and by working with Egni Co-op, we want to increase in the amount of renewable energy installed on our buildings.”
Egni Co-op is a community organisation which funds and manages PV installations in Wales.
The solar panels in Swansea have been funded by Egni’s ongoing co-op share offer which has raised £2.2m to date, and has recently raised its target to £3m.
The rollout was supported by Welsh Government Energy Service which provided dedicated development manager time to the Council.
