HARTING COMMUNITY HALL SOLAR PANEL PROJECT APPEAL

 

 

SPONSOR A PANEL

 

For the last 2 years members of the Community Hall Committee and Harting CAN have been working on a project to install 68 solar panels on the roof of the village hall. The aim being two-fold - to reduce the carbon footprint of the hall, and at the same time generate essential funds by selling energy back to the grid to secure the future of our wonderful community asset.

 

As you can imagine, the project has been beset with hurdles - gaining planning permission, the presence of bats in the roof, grid capacity, structural issues and most challenging of all has been the funding. 

 

As a final push to try to install these panels this summer the Parish Council have kindly stepped in with a grant and a loan. As with all loans, this does need to be repaid.

 

This is where we wondered if you would like to sponsor a panel? Have you thought about the climate crisis and wondered how you can get involved in some small way? Would you like to be part of securing the future of the hall whilst doing something with a positive impact ? If so, this sponsorship plan could be for you.

 

By sponsoring a panel for £100, your panel would:

• Generate 412 kWh per year, which is equivalent to:

  • 412 hours of the dishwasher

  • 206 hours of the oven being turned to 180 degrees

  • 2744 hours of the playstation!!

• Save 89kg of CO2e being let into the atmosphere

• Save the hall £70 in electricity bills

 

So pretty compelling. How do you sign up?
