Here Comes the Sun – Solar Panels at Newington
As some may know, over the past year the College has significantly improved its green profile. One of the many initiatives which was pushed for by the Stanmore campus’ Sustainability Committee and implemented by the entire College was the installation of solar panels.
Currently there are solar panels installed on both the Concordia Centre and the Taylor Sports Centre, and there are plans to roll this out across all three campuses. We have a system that produces up to 108kW of electricity at one time and has so far generated over 57.6 MWh of electricity – enough to offset over 100 tonnes of CO2 (a remarkable contribution from a school community). This fact alone demonstrates the impact of student action; and how as a community we can support the planet and lower costs in the future – actions that embody the entirety of sustainability.
