"With an estimated annual production of 232,430 kWh (the energy that would be achieved by burning 27,345 litres of diesel), the school will prevent the emission of 71 tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere annually," he suggests Bikote. Askartza Claret achieve such savings of carbon dioxide thanks to the two hundred thermal solar collectors (two square meters each) installed on your roof. These sensors allow heat 8,000 litres of water are used daily in the locker room of the school, not having to do the boiler diesel hitherto were responsible for this.

The project has been promoted by the leadership of the centre, which is involved in the environmental agenda Local Agenda 21, and has two main objectives: to help curb climate change and raise awareness and educate their students in the use of renewable energies. According Gorka Macias, manager Bikote Solar, and Alfonso Tejedor, manager of the school, the most important thing is that, "from now on, the more than 2,500 college students may learn about and use a clean energy source, inexhaustible and free: the sun.
