Trent Vale Primary School (solar panels)
Key Considerations
Energy • 10 KWp solar electricity generating array proposed • No shading; solar system will achieve maximum potential • Suitable South facing orientation; ideal for solar electricity • Building life more than 25 years though; roof repairs likely in that time • Energy saving 8,000KWh = 2 1/2 homes annual electricity use • Site owned by NCC; permission will be required • Planning permission required Money • Project cost around £32,000 • Would reduce the school’s electricity bill by £500 per year • Would earn £1,500* per year for Greening Beeston • Will save 4.5 tonnes CO2e per year Community • 200 students and school community will benefit • Could be a good renewable energy teaching tool • Small school so % contribution to school's energy bill and carbon emissions would be significant * under proposed Feed In Tariff |
