Kingsmead Primary School, Cheshire
Schools and homes use lots of hot water for washing and bathing. The sun, even in Britain’s climate can deliver 30-70% of this energy. At Kingsmead Primary School, four large roof-mounted Solartwin panels pre-heat the Scools hot water for washing and bathing.
Uniquely simple to install in homes, Solartwin is used all over the UK. Solar Twin Ltd now installs roughly 10% of all UK solar water heating panels, using an award winning solar water heating technology. Homes, schools and pools all over the UK benefit from Solartwin’s solar water heating installations.
Compared to previous forms of solar, Solartwin is uniquely simple to fit in both schools and homes. Its 100% solar eletric water pumping system improves its environmental footprint by not requiring any mains electricity.
This innovation is crucial to cutting global warming and helps to meet energy targets more easily, with less “energy drawback”.
“Being a parent and having been a teacher myself, I’m delighted that the next generation of Cheshire children will be learning in a sustainable environment, thanks to Solartwin” says Managing Director, Barry Johnston.
Other Solartwin projects in Cheshire are:
- Wistaston Green Primary School – Main building
- Beeston Outdoor Education Centre – Laundry block
- Chester Catholic High School – Science Classroom for the Future
