• Northleaze School - Solar PV

Northleaze School has 194 panels with a peak output of 49.9kW.

Low Carbon Gordano’s first school project was installed at Northleaze School in Long Ashton. This is a church school and as well as the governing body who were very supportive LCG also received the support of the Diocese of Bath & Wells who own the school.

This scheme was completed before the 15th January deadline set by the government for the major reduction in Feed-in-Tariff for solar PV. The installations were actually completed before the 31st December so LCG avoided the smaller FIT reduction that came into force on 1 January 2016.

There is an online monitoring system and LCG has worked with the school to develop an education programme focusing on renewable energy and combating climate change.

The  vicar and churchwardens at All Saints Church in Long Ashton are also trustees of the school and Church House and their enthusiasm coupled with that of the governors and staff at the school were key to making the two Long Ashton projects a reality, Church House being the second.
