Community Energy Warwickshire’s first project was successfully installed last week – solar PV panels on the hospital in Stratford upon Avon.

The 10kW array was installed on 8 December, beating the 12 December deadline to ensure the scheme will qualify for the higher rate of feed-in tariff payments before the new lower rates are introduced.

Shares totalling nearly £100,000 have been purchased by investors in Community Energy Warwickshire – meaning we have enough funds to install a sizeable array of PV panels on Warwick hospital early in 2012 as well.
