Hundreds of Solar Panels to Be F...
Imagine a city where council buildings are adorned with solar panels, generating enough energy to power homes and significantly cut carbon emissions. Brighton and Hove City Council are making this vision a reality with their latest initiative.
Major Solar Panel Installation
Brighton and Hove City Council is set to install 730 solar panels across the roofs of various council buildings, including nearly 300 on the roof of the Prince Regent Swimming Complex in Church Street. This ambitious project aims to generate enough energy to power 130 homes annually, significantly reducing carbon emissions.
Environmental Impact
The installation on the Prince Regent Swimming Complex alone will offset carbon emissions equivalent to planting over 1,000 trees each year. This initiative is a cornerstone of the council’s broader strategy to achieve net zero emissions.
Supporting Quotes
Councillor Tim Rowkins, the cabinet member for net zero and environmental services, emphasized the practical nature of the project. “Our new rooftop solar panel deployment is a practical demonstration of how we are turning our commitment to net zero into tangible decarbonisation projects.“
Broader Project Rollout
In addition to the swimming complex, solar panels are being installed on other key council buildings, including Moulsecoomb Community Leisure Centre, Wayfield Avenue Resource Centre, and Roundabout Nursery. By the end of the year, Portslade Sports Centre and Hollingdean Family Hub will also benefit from new solar installations.
Conclusion
This rollout marks a significant step towards a more sustainable future for Brighton and Hove. By leveraging the roofs of public buildings, the council is not only reducing operational costs but also contributing to the global fight against climate change.
