How do I log in and out of my SOLAR?

Logging in and out of SOLAR

SOLAR is an online system and access is via a web browser. You can use any web browser except Internet Explorer which is not compatible with SOLAR.

The URL to access SOLAR is nameofyourschool.solarforschools.org.uk

You must check that you are on your schools SOLAR.  The name of the school is found just above the e-mail address field.

If you are a new user to SOLAR who has had their access set up by their SOLAR Administrator but have not yet logged into SOLAR or a current user who has forgotten their password click: -

Fill in your e-mail address and click the Send Password Reset Linkbutton: -

SOLAR will send you the following e-mail: -

When you select the reset password link in the e-mail you will be taken to a page to enter your e-mail address and your new password twice. Please note the password re-set e-mail has a time expiry on it and so you should take action within 10 minutes of its receipt.

SOLAR works within Data Protection Act Principles and so it is highly recommended that every user of SOLAR has their own individual login.

Note – if the e-mail generated by SOLAR goes into your SPAM folder you should move it into your in-box or the link will not work.

When you have finished using SOLAR click the logout link at the top right-hand side of the page. Please note SOLAR has a “time out” security feature.  If you do not click Logout SOLAR will automatically log you out after 20 minutes of inactivity.
