Solar safety upgrade completed at York Minster

York Minster, the world-famous Gothic cathedral at the heart of York, has reduced energy costs and emissions following the installation of a rooftop solar photovoltaic system designed to prioritise both efficiency and fire safety at the historic site.
Since commissioning, the 184-panel installation has generated more than 42,000 kWh of electricity in six months.
At peak output, the system has met more than 80% of the Minster’s electricity demand, delivering savings of almost £20,000
