New solar panels on the roof of York Minster have been switched on for the first time during a blessing ceremony led by the Dean of York.
The 184 panels were installed over the last four months on the south Quire roof of the Anglican cathedral. They will generate 70,000kWh of energy, which the Minster said will cover a third of its electricity requirements.
This is the fourth solar installation on the Minster estate. Combined, all the solar panels will generate 120,000kWh of energy per year, enough to power 41 average UK homes.
