Watt Power

We have recently fitted an external display linked to our photo-voltaic panels installed earlier this year on the Sports Hall roof.  The display shows the power being generated, the total energy generated since installation and the tonnes of carbon saved by our green generation. The display is on the end wall of the Sports Hall, facing the Little School yard.

When this photograph was taken,a dull afternooon, on 5 October, power was 0.6 kW (around 6% of the panels’ capacity), and we had generated 5058kWh in total, saving emissions of 2.883 tonnes of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. On a sunny day, the panels can generate up to 9.7kW.  The 5058 kWh generated thus far is worth nearly £2,000 to the Birkenhead Foundation Trust.
