If you’ve ever done school drop-off on a hot day, you’ve probably thought about the classrooms our kids sit in all afternoon.
Or wondered how schools and childcare centres cope as power bills keep rising?
That’s why more communities are looking to solar and batteries, helping schools and childcare centres:
- cut energy bills
- keep classrooms cooler during heatwaves
- stay powered during outages
Time and time again, educators, energy experts, and community leaders tell us the same thing: solar and batteries for schools and childcare is a no-brainer.
On April 1, Parents for Climate will hold our first ever event at Parliament House in Canberra, sharing stories from communities already making it happen. Members of Parliament and Senators from across Australia are invited - and adding your name helps show them that families in their electorate want solar and batteries, which could encourage them to attend.

I don’t know, I was too young to know what AC or DC were, and the motor wasn’t exposed anyway - I believe the fan was one pre-made component. It was made to be very child-safe.
When I said components, what I really meant was there were alligator clip wires to connect whole pre-made objects “here’s a fan, here’s a light bulb”
The real question is could you zap your friends with the current from the solar panel? In the interest of science and learning, of course! 😉
No, but you could clamp 'em!
