Green Hut ready to generate power

The PV (photovoltaic) panels are 90% installed on the roof of the Parklands House now.    These will be connected to an inverter and also battery storage to provide night time boost when power usage is likely to be high.    This system supplied by CPS solar is critical to our success achieving Net Zero Energy.   It’s interesting as the cost squeeze has increased not once have I thought about reducing the system we are putting in, in fact it’s made me even more determined to ensure that we do achieve certification.  The beauty in registering the project with the Living Building Challenge before we started means that we can’t chicken out,  it’s become non-negotiable right from the word go.
