Fundraisers for church roof repairs could be a thing of the past if places of worship are all kitted out with solar panels. According to British Gas, religious buildings could make up to £29m per year by generating their own electricity and selling it back to the grid under the Feed-in Tariff scheme. There would also be carbon savings of up to 42,000 tonnes, which has got to be good for the soul, as well as the planet.
As Phil Bentley, managing director of British Gas, explained: "Religious buildings are particularly well suited to solar power as they tend to have large south-facing roofs which receive direct sunlight for the main part of the day."
