Five
friends, Benji Goehl, Ian Smith, Richard Davis, Jimmy Walker and
David Croxall set up a DIY Solar Club in South Wiltshire thanks
to a grant award from the Community Innovators Millennium Awards
Scheme.
The
club provides information and training for householders on DIY installation
of solar hot water heating systems to harness the power of the sun
to meet hot water energy requirements enabling them to save between
50 and 60% of their annual requirement for domestic hot water.
The
club fosters a community spirit by bringing householders together
to support each other to install solar panels through shared skills,
labour, tools and equipment.
On
Wednesday 5th May, at 1830 BST, at the Harnham Scout Hut, Lower
Road, Harnham, Salisbury Phil, from Low Living Impact Initiate (LILI)
will give a presentation on solar powered domestic hot water systems.
This
will be followed by practical demo by David and Benji who aim to
complete the DIY construction of their own solar panels.
People
are welcome to come along to discover more about the benefits of
solar power and find out about the South Wiltshire Solar Energy
Club.
See
the righthand box to find out more about the club and how to get
involved.
