Solar Thermal Photovoltaics

The Fold, in the words of owners Will Tooby and Tom Jardine, is "a not for profit community enterprise mixing elements of inspiration, creativity and healing to provide a space away from the commercial norm where members of the public can take time to become who they truly are". More prosaically, it needed a hot water supply for its kitchens etc, and solar was the obvious choice given the strong ethical principles driving the organisation. Two Eco-47-1500-20 panels were selected, controlled by a Resol BS4. The system has been installed since early 2007 and is working well, as can be seen from the photo of the controller showing a cylinder temperature of over 60°C. Visit the website of The Fold at http://www.thefold.org.uk, or better still The Fold itself at New House Farm, Bransford, midway between Malvern and Worcester.
Thanks to Will and Tom for this information.
