Solar and ground source energy







Eventually, after much negotiation we have an efficient and discrete Solar Vacuum Tube array on the wheelhouse roof, providing Resolute with hot water at 50 degrees even now. The Ground source heat pump system is also fully installed, and runs to top up when there is insufficient heat from the sun. Solar tubes have been providing hot water for the underfloor heating and domestic use during the day recently. There is a very clever automatic energy management system.






We had a visit from the teams of St Georges House and Fellowship Afloat Christian centresrecently. This was a training conference and here is a picture of a group using the DAY ROOM for a canoeing exam.

We have a commissioning event on 26th March from 1-4pm including buffet lunch, tours and commissioning event at 2.30. Please join us if you can and advise us on admin@cye.org.uk
