Could Bristol Metropolitan Academy go solar?
Built under the Building Schools for the Future programme, Bristol Metropolitan Academy is all big rectilinear teaching blocks with flat roofs — straightforward ground for panels. Across roughly 6,900 square metres, we estimate room for around 850 kW of solar and just over 2,100 panels: an estimated 0.68 to 0.83 million kWh a year in Bristol, much of it made over the quiet summer break.
