Devizes School solar PV installation

Devizes School is located to the south of Devizes town centre in Wiltshire, between Southbroom Road (A360) and Nursteed Road (A342).

200 solar panels, with a 50kWp total generation capacity, have been installed on the flat roof areas of the two large, linked teaching blocks (the Science Block and the Applied Learning Centre) - the installation went live on 1st November 2014.

The two teaching blocks have an unobstructed, open aspect to the south-south-east, providing an excellent orientation for solar PV power generation. The installation is expected to generate 44,500kWh of energy and save about 24 metric tons of carbon dioxide on an annual basis.
