The south facing site is a great location for solar PV to generate clean renewable electricity, we expect to install around 280kWp of PV. Generating clean electricity on site will help to keep the energy bills low for the tenants, our SDCE energy advice team will always be available to advise tenants on how to make the most of their solar electricity.
The roofs will be angled to maximise solar PV generation. Any excess not used by the homes, will be used to charge up the electric cars, or potentially be stored in a battery. We are exploring how much can be generated on site and whether we will be able to export electricity back to the grid. This work was funded by our Rural Community Energy Fund grant. We are working with Buro Happold and Communities for Renewables. Next... |
