Could City of Wolverhampton College (Wellington Road) go solar?
This estimate covers the Wellington Road buildings of City of Wolverhampton College in Bilston, where broad shallow-pitch workshop and teaching roofs offer easy ground for panels. Across roughly 1,400 square metres we estimate room for around 254 kW of solar and some 630 panels — an estimated 0.18 to 0.22 million kWh a year. Like any college, it would generate hardest over the summer, when the campus is quietest.
