Solar panels for centre
SOLAR panels worth £12,000 will be fitted to the roof of the Energy Centre at Heeley City Farm, saving nearly a tonne of carbon emissions a year.
The panels, which will cover 14 square metres of the roof, will generate the equivalent of half the consumption of a typical Sheffield home.
And when surplus is produced it will be sold to National Grid, generating income. The project is being funded by Sheffield South Community Assembly.
The centre is open to the public from 11am to 3pm Wednesday to Saturday. Staff can give impartial advice on renewable energy and energy efficiency and there are displays and activities for kids.
