A vast solar project has been installed across the roof of the British Library, and is expected to reduce the building’s carbon emissions by 55 tonnes a year.
The installation, billed by its creators as ‘the UK’s largest solar heat project’, comprises 950 ‘solar collectors’ across 712.5 m2 of the library’s roof space and will generate 216 MWh of energy annually – equivalent to heating a swimming pool for a year.
