Flat roofs in Swansea city centre could one day be tapped into as a source of renewable energy. Swansea Council has pledged £5,000 towards a project which is keen to install solar panels on roofs.
The project, called Solar Swansea, is being led by business group Swansea Bid and needs to raise just under £13,000 to fund a feasibility study for the idea. A large area of flat roofs could be suitable, according to the project.
Its backers would try to secure Government funding to install solar panels on as many of the roofs as possible, assuming the study concluded the scheme was viable. Swansea Bid said a consortium comprising many of its members could be created to use the electricity produced. You can read more stories about Swansea here.
