Retro fitted Photovoltaic Membrane Installation (2010)

As part of the college future proofing strategy the college was designed to facilitate the future cost effective installation and maintenance of an Evalon Solar Photo Voltaic membrane to both the west and east elevations. Specifically the concrete roof slabs were pitched at 10 degrees to enable self cleaning and an Alwitra single ply roof covering was installed in readiness for the direct application of the photo voltaic membrane.

We were therefore able to put a good case to the Carbon Challenge team and, to the delight of all concerned, the project was selected for the installation of retro-fitted Evalon Solar  Photo Voltaic roof membrane to the entire west facing roof. Funding was from the DECC.Planning application
