Proposal

This installation will provide an estimated annual output of over 4500 kWh, the majority of which would be used by the Trust itself during daylight hours. The system will potentially reduce the Trust?s carbon footprint by over 1700 kgCO2e and reduce our electricity usage dramatically, mitigating against further energy price increases for the Trust and its visitors. 1. Proposal The Saltisford Canal Trust is seeking prior approval for the installation under GDPO Schedule 2, Part 14, Class K The reasons for installing the solar PV arrays are to reduce the Trust?s reliance on grid supplied electricity in order to save money, and to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide. This will contribute towards the Warwickshire County Council Plans ?Tackle Climate Change, Promote Biodiversity and Deliver on our Commitment to Net Zero?. The solar panels proposed are 395W Mono MBB Percium Half-Cell Black solar modules, arranged in an arrays and linked to a Solis 4kW single phase S6 dual MPPT inverters. The panels will be fitted to at 30° on the flat earth bank behind the Cedar Room In total there will be 12 Mono MBB Percium Half-Cell Black solar modules which are visually sympathetic in terms of appearance and low glare.
