Solar power training news: Church tackles climate change
The expertise of those with solar power training may have been needed at one medieval church in Lincoln recently, as it has just had solar panels installed.
A total of 54 solar photovoltaic panels were fitted on the roof of the south aisle of St Denys' Church, in Sleaford.
The idea for the project came from the church's curate, the Rev Jeremy Cullimore, the Sleaford Target reports.
Although the scheme cost £56,000, he managed to secure 95 per cent of the cost through funding, with 50 per cent coming from the Department for Business and Enterprise and Regulatory Reform.
A further 45 per cent of the bill was covered by the National Lottery's Community Sustainable Energy Programme.
The Rev Cullimore told the Target: "We hope to use this installation to encourage others to engage with ways they can tackle the issue of climate change.
Another building doing its bit for the environment is Christ the King Roman Catholic Infant School in Coundon, which will have £20,000 solar panels installed later this year, the Coventry Telegraph reported.
