What we hear

The pain points we keep seeing.

Budget cycles don't match the problem

Schools need retrofits that pay back inside a funding cycle. We structure projects around capital timelines and incentive deadlines.

Install windows are tiny

Summer break is your only real window for interior work. Night install for athletic fields. We schedule around the school calendar, not ours.

Athletic lighting has broadcast standards

Game film, televised games, and night practices all require IES RP-6-22 foot-candle minimums. Old HID doesn't hit the numbers anymore.

TVA rebates on the table

TVA EnergyRight covers districts across AL, TN, MS, KY. The rebate can cover 20-40% of a project but the application windows matter.

The math

Classroom + athletic + parking — stacked rebates.

Education retrofits stack the best of three sources: TVA EnergyRight rebates for interior, Section 179D deductions for districts with nonprofit partners, and project financing via the district's capital plan. Most school projects land under 4 years payback including the athletic component.

Projects in Schools

Real schoolsprojects we’ve delivered.

We've retrofitted Alabama A&M Stadium, Hunter Street Baseball Complex, Tallassee City Schools, Lawrence County Schools, and Russellville City Schools. Every school project is different — but they all need the same thing: a partner who understands the calendar, the budget cycle, and the rebate programs.

Sports Lighting

Alabama A&M University Stadium

The Alabama A&M Bulldogs football stadium needed broadcast-quality field lighting for night games and game-film capture. We designed and installed a full LED retrofit and secured over $162K in TVA EnergyRight rebates before the first fixture shipped.
