At around 2.00pm today our system reached the 1000kWh total output since installation back in November 2011. In the first quarter of 2012, the system has generated 605kWh of power and it on target to reach the estimated annual output of 2880kWh. To date we have saved 703Kg of Co2 by generating power through the photovoltaic system.
As part of our ongoing programme to reduce our carbon footprint a 3.6kW photovoltaic array has been installed on the roof of our Blackwell Practice. Supplied and installed by IMS Eco, in the 3 days it has been in operation it has generated over 5kWh of power resulting in a Co2 emission saving of 3.32Kg. In the long term it is projected to save 1,126Kg of Co2 per annum, We will be publishing updated figures from time to time to track the systems progress.
Our recently completed eco house has been featured in November's issue of The Village magazine. By utilising a bio mass boiler and photovoltaic panels, the property has a Co2 emission of -0.2 tonnes per year.
