First Wokingham solar panelled school in Berkshire
The very first school in Berkshire to install solar panels is bursting with energy this week! And on Thursday November 1, proud pupils and staff at The Hawthorns Primary School in Woosehill will be showing Wokingham Borough Council’s executive member for environment Cllr Simon Weeks the solar panels they have worked hard to earn.
The Hawthorns Primary School, Wokingham has become a model of energy efficiency since an energy audit from Wokingham Borough Council 18 months ago, managing to save 10% of the normal yearly amount they spend on gas, electricity, water and oil.
After putting the money they have saved into a special fund for buying a renewable energy source for their building, the Wokingham school received a letter earlier this year from the Energy Saving Trust, offering a grant of £5,298 towards a 1.82kWp solar panel array.
Now that the solar panels and associated monitoring equipment and educational displays inside the building have been successfully installed, the school is looking forward to even greater savings on their fuel bills in the future – as well as having a real-life example of renewable energy provision for pupils to see in action.
