The RSPCA Suffolk Central branch in Martlesham will redirect over £7,500 a year from its energy bills to animal welfare after installing almost 80 solar panels across its rooftops.
Why it matters: With charities across Suffolk struggling with spiralling energy costs, the green energy investment shows how solar power can unlock thousands of pounds of vital funding for frontline and other services while cutting carbon emissions.
The details: Suffolk-based sustainable energy company Lanman Solar installed 78 solar panels on the centre's roof in Martlesham. Generating around 23,100 kWh a year, the system will power a substantial portion of daily operations and comes with a 30-year warranty.
