Could Royal Derby Hospital go solar?
A hospital never switches off — which is exactly why the roof of Royal Derby Hospital is worth a second look. Across roughly 39,000 square metres of shallow, flat PFI roof deck, we estimate space for around 6 MW of solar and close to 15,000 panels, producing an estimated 4.8 to 5.9 million kWh a year in Derby. On paper, that matches nearly 2,000 homes.
