Solar panels at Scotland Farm


A 49 kw solar panel system on trackers is being built at scotland farm. Frames and trackers are up. We hope to have switched on, on the 4th July 2011. There are 5 posts being built at the back of the grainstore to deliver power to run the grain drier and elevators. This is a step towards zero carbon grain. The panels will be delivered and installed tomorrow. The trackers follow the sun as its moves to maximise on efficiency of the panels. Im looking forward to this working and generating electricity back to the grid when we aren't using the electricity. Grainstores and solar panels work well as the power requirement is in the summer when the must electric is generated.
