Gatehouse Community Centre goes solar

Gatehouse Community Centre has taken a step into the 21st century; fitted with the very latest in solar electric panels the centre will now generate its own electricity.
This electricity will be used to power the air-to-air source heat pumps that have been installed on the outside of the building. What's even more impressive is that the Community Centre will generate an income for all the electricity it produces! The Feed-in-Tariff launched in April 2010 pays a sum each year for the electricity generated when you install a renewable energy technology, such as solar electric panels or a wind turbine, for more information on the Feed-in-Tariff, please contact the Carbon Team.
