In the pilot phase of its 'Solar into Schools' project, Shell Development Oman has offered contracts to two Omani small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to install solar photovoltaic (PV) panels in schools.

The pilot school sites exist in Al Buraimi, Nizwa and Salalah, with a fourth pilot school site in Muscat set to be unveiled.

'Solar into Schools' project was identified as among the two programs announced as part of Shell's 5th Gift to The Nation in 2015.

The contract to install solar PV panels in 22 public schools across Oman has been awarded by Shell in partnership with Ministry of Education.

The deal will see Fajwa for Solar Energy Solutions Systems installing solar panels at the Um Al Fathel girls public school in Nizwa, while Hussam Technology Company will be incharge for installation at Sultan Qaboos chool, a boys public school in Al Buraimi and Khawala bint Hakim School, a girls public school in Salalah.

Speaking on the new deal, Chris Breeze, Shell country chairman in Oman, said, "We at Shell are very pleased to support Omans budding solar ecosystem through the Solar into Schools' initiative. Upon completion of the solar PV training course, the project tender was released for the Omani SMEs in the market to compete."
