Solar Panel dedication, Ledbury parish church

The Rt Revd Anthony Priddis, the Bishop of Hereford, dedicates recently installed solar panels on two of the south facing roofs from the cherry picker. St Michael and All Angels has separate roofs over each aisle as well as the nave. This has the advantage that 54 solar panels can be installed without being visible from the ground. Under the most favourable conditions the panels will produce 9.9 kW. SO7137 : Ascension, St, Michael and All Angels, Ledbury
