Trowbridge Civic Centre solar PV project
Trowbridge Civic Centre is located in the centre of Trowbridge in St Stephen's Place and a 48.9 kWp, 188 panel solar PV array has been installed on the south east facing sloping roof area as illustrated in the image shown below right.
The installation generates about 43,100 kWh of energy and saves about 22 metric tons of carbon dioxide on an annual basis.
The progress of the installation was tracked with photos and commentary in the section below.
