Vatican Installs Large PV Solar System


The smallest country in the world is going green!!! A new PV(photo voltaic) solar system containing 2,400 panels was installed on one of the state's main buildings “Nervi Hall”. The system will generate approximately 300 kilowatt hours of clean energy a year.


This system will help the Vatican cut is Carbon Dioxide emission by about 225 tonnes a year, saving the equivalent of 80 tonnes of oil annually.

This isn't the first time the Vatican tried to become a carbon neutral state. Last year trees were planted in a national park in Hungry to offset its carbon-dioxide emissions.
