Thank You!1 year ago
By Tarporley Baptist and Methodist Chapel
Following a successful refurbishment in 2016 and a recent new roof in 2022, the Chapel wish to install solar panels on the large sloping south facing roof.
We are crowdfunding for the costs of installing solar panels on a vibrant local Chapel in Tarporley. The Chapel has long and deep links within the village and the surrounding area. The Chapel is used for Christian worship and is also widely used by other community groups. The chapel and the manse where the pastor lives are large and old and are expensive to heat and light. Having Solar Panels will allow us to save money, follow a green agenda and do other things. The visibility of the Solar Panels will provide further encouragement to the local community that we are aware of the climate emergency and doing our bit to help After my presentation to the congregation about Solar Panels and Spacehive some of the congregation approached me about doing their own solar panels at home so this has given the green agenda a real boost.
What we'll deliver:
Why it's a great idea:
The solar panel project has 2 aims 1 To reduce the cost of heating and lighting the building and keep costs down for the groups that use it 2 To contribute to reduction in climate change, reduce CO2 emissions, follow Green Agenda and contribute to CWAC targets to reduce CO2 emissions by 2030

Objectives :The Solar Panel Project has 2 aims 1. To reduce the cost of heating and lighting the building and keep costs down for the groups that use it. 2. To contribute to reduction in climate damage, reduce C02 emissions, follow green agenda, contribute to CWAC targets to reduce C02 emissions by 2030 We are keen to try and do a small part of the efforts to protect our environment and our planet at this time of climate crisis We believe that God has provided the sun’s energy for us to harness and use wisely. It makes sense to use the large roof area to generate energy. We believe there will be excess energy generated which will be fed back to the grid for the community to use We wish to install battery storage technology to store energy to use in the evenings when the building is used more We understand the initial installation cost may be high, but savings made over time and the reduction in C02 damage to the environment make the project essential for us to do now
