South West Water has installed more solar panels across its operational sites after the company’s existing solar assets generated more than one million kilowatt-hours in 2012.
A llama and sheep farm in Truro will soon be harvesting the sun’s energy too after British Solar Renewables secured planning permission for an 11MW solar farm.
The latest solar installation figures published by the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) reveal that weekly installations have broken the 8MW barrier for the first time in 2013.
