Well, it didn't quite go as originally planned, but with the help of Ethical Solar and the Bristol Energy Co-op, we now have 40kW of solar panels on the roof of Hamilton House! We had been planning to install the panels in a nice phased progression, and had in principal secured ethical investment for the purpose. At the last minute, however, partly due to the suddenness of the government's announced cutback in the Feed In Tariffs, we were only able to secure investment for 20kW worth of panels.
Thankfully, Ethical Solar and Bristol Energy Cooperative stepped in to fill the gap and install the other 50%.
Our next project is a feasibility study for solar panels on the roofs of an entire street in Bristol, in an area seriously affected by fuel poverty. Keep on eye on this website for details.
