<dc:title>Irvine: Irvine Royal Academy</dc:title>
<dc:description>&lt;p&gt;In June 2015, Irvine Royal Academy had 1,000 Solar Photovoltaic panels installed. These generate electricity for the school to use. The panels form a 250kW system and cover approximately 2,000m&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;. The system generates 167,000kWh per year and the school is still able to export some of the electricity that is generated. Since the install, about 10, 746kWh has been exported to the grid. There are 8 inverters which convert the generated electricity the current from DC to AC to allow it to be exported. This system is the largest PV array to be installed in a school in Scotland.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The school also houses two 500kW biomass boilers. The boilers are fuelled by wood chip and use approximately 300 tonnes per year. The wood chip is blown into a store in the school and filtered through into the feed-in pipe into the boiler. There is also a back-up mains gas central heating system. Accompanying the boilers are two buffer tanks which hold 5,000 litres of water each.?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;?&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
