SOLAR energy panels can now be fitted on the roof of the Sark School and Community Centre.
The Development Control Committee has passed an Island Hall Trustees application for photovoltaic cells to be installed on the south-east and south-west of the building.
Trustee Brian Garrard said the group could now get on with planning the project in more detail.
It is hoped the panels would help save money spent on electricity.
?We had a meeting and discussed this possible option,? he said.
?The Island Hall has a huge roof and it seemed like a good idea to make use of the opportunity.
?We had to wait for planning permission and that was approved by the committee last week.
?The prime consideration was the reduced cost.
?The price of electricity on Sark is very high and this would dramatically reduce this cost.?
He said the project was still in its infancy and the trustees would have to meet again to discuss how they would take it forward.
?We can?t tell yet how much it is going to cost,? said Mr Garrard.
?The Island Hall Trustees will be paying for it but it might be that it is self-financing.?
