Eighteen more solar photovoltaic projects for homes, schools, and leisure centres have been announced, as the third set of proposals approved under the DTI’s £20m Photovoltaic Demonstration Programme, which was launched a year ago. The projects will share £2 m in funding and will have a combined output of 565kWp. The winning projects include:

• - Science Museum, London: Up to £88,000 to fit a photovoltaic system into the roof of the East Hall to generate 25kWp.
• - The National Marine Aquarium, Plymouth: Up to £117,000 to install a photovoltaic system in the roof that will generate 29.8kWp.
• - Circle 33 Housing Trust, Cambridge: Up to £68,000 plan to install a PV system into 16 low energy houses.
• - Bryhyfryd School, Ruthin, Wales: Up to £104,000 to fit PVs into the roof of a 20 classroom teaching block to generate 28.8 kWp.
• - The Riding’s Housing Association, Potterton, Leeds: Up to £133,000 to install PV’s in the roofs of a low cost housing development.
