Community Fund – Cilgwyn – January Update
Solar hot water for all. Cilgwyn group managed to get a special grant to help people install solar hot water. So far 21 families have had grants making their install really affordable, around £1,000. Solar hot water is the no brainer of the renewable heat technologies, as once installed it just works away quietly lasting about as long as pipes and glass. The antifreeze will need a top up now and then, and a titchy pump takes watts, but its pretty minimal and saves oodles of water heating even in our rotten climate.. miraculous. |
