Alresford Recreation Centre: soon to go solar
THE roof of Alresford Recreation Centre is set to start making money for the town.
The town council has agreed to borrow some £33,000 towards around 80 solar panels.
"It is a no-brainer to put solar panels on the roof," said councillor Roy Gentry.
The pay-back period is around nine years and then they will generate £4,100 a year in guaranteed income and energy-saving for the council tax payers.
