Vatican Goes For Solar Power
There is one thing that used to be said about the Vatican is that it is set in its ways and those ways go back for hundreds of years, yet recently they have changed for the better. One of the latest additions to the Vatican is five thousand square feet worth of solar panels.
This installation contains two thousand four hundred photovoltaic solar panels costing an estimated $1.6 million. The system will produce around 300 megawatt hours (MWh) of energy in a year, this is enough to power the Nervi Hall and when this is not in use the power simple goes into the Vatican power grid.
