May 2010 South West Building & Construction 15 ENVIRONMENT Solar modules
BECOSOLAR has provided and installed high quality solar photovoltaic modules at Rattery Village Hall as part of extensive energy-saving measures to reduce running costs following a site assessment carried out by the Devon Association of Renewable Energy.
The village hall committee has been able to benefit from funding available from the Low Carbon Building Programme as well as receiving grants from South Hams District Council and smaller contributions from local sources.
After winning a competitive
tender, Becosolar installed 180W monocrystalline solar modules to the existing slated roof.
One hundred modules were installed to give an 18 kWp system which will produce approximately 16,500kWh of electricity per year and save over nine tonnes of CO2 from being generated.

explained to us in a language we could understand, giving us confidence in the project.’ She said that Becosolar’s tender had been competitively- priced and the committee has been ‘extremely pleased with the results gained by installing the Becosolar system, which will have paid for itself in approximately eight years due to the feed-in tariff system being introduced this year’. With over 20 years’
experience, Totnes-based Becosolar is one of the UK’s longest established solar energy solutions providers, specialising in PV systems for industrial, commercial, marine and domestic applications.
