Solar panel at the ECO Centre, Wales
Solar panel at the ECO Centre, Newport, Wales, UK. The ECO Centre is a public education centre designed to promote environmental issues connected with energy use. It highlights the need to reduce the effects that society has on the environment, especially with regards to climate change. In 1997, it became the smallest power station in the UK, exporting up to 450 watts of power to the National Grid from its solar panels, including this one. The pipes and tank behind this solar panel are used to collect rainwater

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a solar panel at the ECO Centre in Newport, Wales. The ECO Centre serves as a public education center dedicated to raising awareness about environmental issues related to energy consumption. It emphasizes the urgent need to mitigate society's impact on our planet, particularly in relation to climate change. In 1997, this very solar panel played a significant role in making history by becoming the smallest power station in the UK. Remarkably, it generated up to 450 watts of power and contributed it back into the National Grid through its photovoltaic cells. This impressive feat showcased the potential of renewable energy sources and their ability to make a tangible difference. The pipes and tank visible behind the solar panel serve an equally important purpose - collecting rainwater. This sustainable practice highlights how even small actions can contribute towards creating a greener future. As part of its educational mission, the ECO Centre invites visitors from all walks of life to explore innovative technologies like these solar panels while promoting environmentally friendly practices. By harnessing clean energy and harvesting rainwater, this attraction exemplifies how technology can be harnessed for positive change. This stunning photograph is brought to you by Science Photo Library, offering an insightful glimpse into Britain's commitment towards embracing renewable energy solutions and fostering science education for a more sustainable world.
