A World Heritage Site has saved £5,000 on its energy bills with solar power!
As reported on the BBC News website
“Fountains Abbey, near Ripon, had solar panels installed on its visitor centre in March 2023.
The panels, which cost £50,000, were integrated with the existing heat pumps in a bid to reduce carbon emissions.
The National Trust, which runs the estate, said the work was a win in terms of “both sustainability and finances”.
The site’s general manager, Justin Scully, said: “We would’ve done this work anyway because of our commitment to sustainability.
“But after over a year it’s clear the panels will have paid themselves off within a decade, which is incredible.”
