Could Portslade Aldridge Community Academy go solar?
With around 1,174 hours of sun a year, Brighton is one of the brighter spots in this set, and Portslade Aldridge Community Academy sits well placed for it. Its modern flat-roof blocks and sports hall cover roughly 1,700 square metres — enough, we estimate, for around 224 kW of solar and some 560 panels. That's an estimated 0.20 to 0.25 million kWh a year, much of it over the summer break.
