Having insulated the church extensively and put on a whole new roof in 2025, we are looking to progress the next part of the roofing project: to install solar panels!
We are seeking to install 56 panels, which will meet all our electricity needs - and more! The project includes creating an enclosure for the battery outside at the back of church, so we can store the energy, when the sun isn’t shining.
Longer term, we would like to have all our energy needs met sustainably, but that will require further major works, to replace our current boiler and heating system.
In the meantime, we have obtained planning permission from Islington Council and we are gearing up for a community fundraising drive in January, as we are £47k short of the necessary funds.
You can read more about the solar panel plans in the Schedule of Works HERE, and if you have any objections, they are to be made to the Diocesan Advisory Committee HERE by 10 December 2026.
