Solar System to Power Indoor Swimming Pool

East Green Energy recently received planning permission for a roof mounted solar system to power an indoor swimming pool used by the community and public. .

In a recent initiative to combat rising energy costs, three sports centres in Cornwall have begun installing solar panels to power their swimming pools. This move aims to significantly reduce energy expenses associated with heating and maintaining pool facilities.

The integration of solar energy into leisure centres not only offers substantial cost savings but also underscores a commitment to environmental sustainability. By harnessing renewable energy, these centres can decrease their reliance on traditional power sources, thereby reducing their carbon footprint.

This development aligns with a broader trend of adopting renewable energy solutions across various sectors. At East Green Energy, we advocate for such forward-thinking approaches. Implementing solar power in public facilities like swimming pools not only promotes environmental responsibility but also delivers tangible economic benefits.

As energy prices continue to fluctuate, the adoption of solar technology presents a viable solution for managing operational costs. We encourage other facilities to consider similar investments in renewable energy to achieve long-term financial and environmental advantages
