Solutions for Schools

The Power of Partnership
Creating modern, energy-efficient schools that provide a better learning environment with lower costs.

Chevron Energy Solutions (CES) is renowned for its partnerships with school districts and its innovation in clean energy financing, technology and project management. Across the U.S., we've developed facility modernization programs that are transforming schools through energy efficiency, conservation and clean power generation. In fact, we're the leading installer of solar power at educational institutions in the U.S., and have dozens of LEED-accredited professionals on our team.

These are some of the reasons why CES was selected by the Collaborative for High Performing Schools to receive the Green Apple Award for developing innovative clean energy solutions.

An Award-Winning Team
When it comes to solutions, our team of professionals is known for its breadth and depth of experience. Our finance experts understand how to help school districts navigate the maze of funding opportunities hidden in federal and state legislation. And our engineers and project managers are experts in new and proven technologies. Together, they bring years of experience developing and building the most effective solutions possible for our customers.

Innovative, Cost-Saving Solutions
Our energy-efficient upgrades save energy and operating costs and provide budget predictability. And with our deep knowledge of state energy policies and school financing programs, we're able to craft innovative solutions that leverage private sector financing and tap government and utility incentives for additional savings. As a result, many projects can be funded without up-front capital, so schools can redirect their resources to other important education priorities.

Clean, Renewable Energy
We're experts at designing and installing solar power systems. In fact, we've completed some of the country's largest solar and energy efficiency projects at K-12 districts—real-world examples for education and a source of pride for teachers, students and administrators.

The solar photovoltaic systems we develop provide new revenue streams and are clean, quiet and low-maintenance. They can be integrated into a building's design or mounted on canopies—turning parking lots, courtyards, or open spaces into comfortable shaded areas. In California, these canopies are pre-approved by the California Division of State Architect.

Better Learning Environments
An energy-efficient school can be easier to maintain and provides better lighting and indoor air quality for students and faculty. The result is improved comfort, which translates into a more productive learning and teaching environment that can also help attract and retain students and faculty.
