Solar panel installation

The installation of solar panels on our roof is coming along nicely.

After some long delays at the solicitors’, work has finally begun to install our solar panels.

We are leasing out roof space to Big Solar Coop, who own and maintain the equipment throughout the 30-year term of the lease.

We will then buy the electricity generated by the 70 KW array at a preferential rate with the excess being sold into the National Grid. We estimate the scheme will save Grow Cook Learn around £7K and reduce our CO2 output by 14 tonnes for each year of operation. The work is scheduled to be completed this week and we hope to be connected up and generating power by the middle of next week.
