Sport England Funds Leisure Centres Rooftop PV Installations
The tiitle of this post, is the same as that of this article on Solar Power Portal.
These two introductory paragraphs give a few more details and describe two installations.
Two local authority-owned leisure centres have received rooftop solar panel installations thanks to funding from Sport England.
Sport England’s Swimming Pool Support Scheme is a national scheme that has thus far distributed over £80 million to improve the energy efficiency of public swimming pools across the UK. Most recently, Workington Leisure Centre in Cumberland has installed a 160kW solar array, while Witham Leisure Centre near Braintree, Essex, has completed a 407kW solar panel installation.
After reading the whole article, it looks to me that leisure centres with their large areas and generous car parking, are a good application for solar panels, that can be of benefit to users, operators, solar panel installers and their financiers.
My experience of finance was mainly in providing funding for vehicles, but once a finance company finds a profitable niche, they are good at exploiting it.
Out of town retail premises and sports stadiums could be other profitable applications.

Keely obviously did well out of the deal, but will Nike get a return on the money, they spent?
I’ve seen a lot of top-class athletes in my time, both on television and in the stadium, and Keely is certainly one of the best.
