The school will join 24 other public schools with the introduction of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems.

The Schools Renewable Energy Infrastructure Pilot Project is a $20 million project which will look at the benefits and costs of a large-scale implementation of solar systems and batteries.

It will also look at other initiatives that can also be used to potentially reduce the demands of electricity.

Minister for Education Sarah Mitchell said the initiative enabled schools to reduce their power bills and carbon footprint.

"Our public schools are leading the way in student outcomes and soon they could be leading the charge in green energy," Ms Mitchell said.

Treasurer and Minister for Energy and Environment Matt Kean said the pilot project supported the state Government's goal to reach net zero emissions by 2050.

"There are more than 8 million square metres of NSW public school roof space, and this pilot will allow us to understand how we can use it to support the next generation of renewable energy on a larger scale," he said.

"This $20 million investment will allow us to assess the benefits of the large scale implementation of solar PV systems and batteries to generate electricity to run our schools, but also to store and sell energy back into the grid."

The 25 schools are out to tender.

"The tender is open to qualified applicants who can design, supply and install the solar PV systems and batteries with work expected to start during the summer school holiday period," Ms Mitchell continued.
