It is always nice to know that there are community centres throughout the UK that sponsor activities for anyone from the very young to our most cherished senior citizens. Unfortunately, with the alarming rate of budget cuts, more and more of these centres are forced to reduce their hours of operation or to simply cut the number of available programmes.
As a matter of fact, many of these community centres are also forced to reduce the amount of staff as well. One way in which many community centres around the UK are dealing with the problem is to look for creative ways to cut operating costs without cutting services to the community. Many have found solar power to be the answer they are looking for.
There are a number of options available in providing solar power to your community centre. A representative from New Energy Futures (NEF) can come to your location to give you an accurate assessment of which type of solar panels would best meet your needs to provide the power needed to adequately run your facility.
Some community centres rely heavily on electricity for the services they offer such as computer rooms whilst some even offer noonday meals. Whether your energy needs are large or not, we can provide a solution to help you find a way to cut the cost of electricity and perhaps take advantage of a government grant to further reduce your energy expenditures.
Solar Power for Community Centres
Community centres that want to take part in the Feed in Tariff scheme need to be aware of the fact that a solar installation needs to be certified by the Microgeneration Certification Scheme and can only be installed by MCS certified installers. A photovoltaic system not only provides much of the power needed to run your centre but can also feed into the national grid on days when your centre is closed for even further tariffs.
New Energy Futures at Solar Install is fully accredited to offer advice on which photovoltaic solar electricity system would best meet your needs whilst being the most cost effective. They can also help you to determine how long it should take to generate enough FIT to have totally paid for the system.
Although community centres provide much needed services, there seems to be a reduction in money available to pay for ongoing programmes. Even with the initial expense of a solar installation, New Energy Futures can help you determine how best to utilise a system that can virtually pay for itself over time and perhaps reduce your energy costs enough so that you won’t notice the payments.
These are all aspects of a solar power system that you can discuss with your NEF representative when you ask for a free consultation and a no obligation quote. Instead of cutting services offered to the community, let us help you find a way to cut costs in energy so that you can continue offering all the programmes that are vitally needed.
