EKZ equips church with solar panels
EKZ installed a solar power system on the roof of the parish hall and on the rectory in Adliswil. 174 solar modules now produce electricity. Between March and September, all the electricity comes from the church's own roof during the day.
The Electricity Works of the Canton of Zurich (EKZ) have installed a solar system on each of the parish hall and the rectory of the Reformed Church in Adliswil. 174 solar modules now produce electricity that could supply eleven four-person households.
The Reformed Church in Adliswil now draws most of its electricity from its own photovoltaic system. After two and a half months of planning and construction, installed EKZ 174 solar panels on the roofs of their church parish and rectory. They produce 54.81 kilowatt-peak electricity. This could supply eleven four-person households.
"Through our simple solar control, we are able to maximize the amount of self-consumed electricity. That means we increase self-consumption to an optimum," Werner Baumann, head of resources properties at the Reformed Church in Adliswil, is quoted as saying in a Media release of the FCA quoted.
In addition, all electricity meters of the parish hall and the administration building were connected together. In this way, the economic efficiency can be increased once again, according to the press release.
