A York project with Photo Voltaic (PV) panel specialists NWS to combat fuel poverty and serve as a national exemplar has won a national award.
To date, 8,511 Solar PV systems have been installed on 479 York council homes.
This week, The Green Organisation’s Green Apple Award was presented by Doreen Lawrence OBE to NWS which created and completed a ground-breaking, self-funded Solar PV project l.
A winner in the category of ‘Construction Companies: Energy Efficiency’, the project’s key aim was to create a viable model for providing free solar PV installations for housing authorities following the UK government’s reduction of the feed-in-tariff associated with micro-generation systems.
