Solar Energy Forum I have no doubt that we will be successful in harnessing the sun's energy.... If sunbeams were weapons of war, we would have had solar energy centuries ago. ~Sir George Porter

It would be interesting to know what contribution the PV installation will make in terms of total energy consumed.

Great news for Grace Cathedral. I think they were purchasing 100% green energy anyway, so really impressive to see them set a fine example and it shows that even some religious institutions are thinking about the environment.

But it doesn't say where in Manchester so I can't verify if it's true.

Don't they have solar or wind in use at the Vatican itself? Sure I remember reading something like that on here.
