The sun shines for Mundo-b

A long-awaited event just took place in Mundo-b : the centre now hosts 60 solar panels on its roof. The installation this December will enable Mundo-b to produce its own electricity and decrease its need for ‘dirty’ electricity by 10%.

Both the purchase of the panels and the electricity they generate are subsidised by the Belgium Government,  which made it a natural and easy first choice for Ethical Property. We hope that the Belgian installation will prove the benefits of solar energy for the company, and we hope to follow suit in the UK in 2010, especially now that there are promises of further government support for micro-generation.  

The photovoltaic panels made of poly-crystalline cells covers a surface of 90 sqm on the roof of Mundo-b, which had been specially designed by engineers to be able to support their weight. Investment of approximately  € 60.000 is expected to be returned in less than 10 years. Long may the sunshine on Mundo-B!
