Wellington is better known for wind than sun, but that is not stopping the city council from embracing solar power.
Consents have been lodged to install 20 solar panels on the roof of the Civic Administration Building to help power the building.
The project is budgeted to cost about $20,000, although it has not been given final approval yet.
The cost could also be subsidised by an $8000 Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority grant, provided it helps to raise awareness and provide information about solar power.
