Eco Church
We have recently installed a battery storage system (thanks to grants from the National Lottery Community Fund and the Gloucestershire County Council Community Climate Change Fund) to complement our solar panels (thanks to a grant from UK Shared Prosperity Fund).
The battery allows us to store the free electricity generated by the sun during the day and use it overnight, significantly reducing our reliance on the National Grid. Any surplus electricity we cannot use or store is exported back to the grid, generating a small income for the church.
The diagram below shows our energy statistics for the first 4 weeks since battery installation on 18th June.
