Solar Systems for School

S.S.S (Solar System for School) is an initiative program developed by Barcode Energy a Dubai Based Renewable Energy Company to bring solar energy to life for children across GCC. We want to bring solar energy to life in a fun, exciting way to children because young people who are our future leaders and decision makers.

S.S.S has three elements that work together or independently of each other:

√  A 3 or 5-kilowatt photovoltaic system (solar panels) installed on the roof of selected schools at very low cost to the school, so schools can generate a portion of their own electricity from the Sun;
√  Real-time generation data from the solar panels linked to the Barcode Energy and school website, accompanied by freely available teaching resources that have been designed to link with the UAE Curriculum and able to be used by any school in UAE; and
√  Support for schools from a full-time Environmental Educator.

Barcode Energy is planning for every school in UAE to be aware of S.S.S and be using the teaching resources to support children's learning about renewable energy, climate change and electricity generation.

S.S.S is supported by the local community, media and nonprofit organization!

Why has Barcode Energy created S.S.S?

As a major and one of renewable energy company in GCC, Barcode Energy is conscious of the environmental effects of burning fossil fuels for electricity generation and the role we play in meeting the country's climate change objectives.

As the community's awareness of climate change increases and the reality of future energy supply issues for UAE approaches, Barcode Energy believes it is important for all UAE people to learn about renewable energy technologies. Through S.S.S, schools are given practical means to incorporate an alternative electricity generation solution into their energy management programe.
