  • Tesla Powerwall 2
Nantgarw Cemetery

We as One Vision supplied and fitted a Tesla battery storage, alongside providing a 5.94 KW PV system at Nantgarw Cemetery, Wales. The Tesla battery is called 'Tesla Power Wall 2', which is a 13.5 KW hour battery.

Carmarthenshire County Council has undertaken a number of measures to green school buildings in its area. On new buildings, these include rainwater harvesting, green roofs, higher insulation, solar water heating and solar electricity generation.

Using an angled support rail arrangement, the solar photovoltaic panels were installed on the building’s flat roof. As is normal in such situations, the installation has a minimal visual impact, in this case helped by the design of the roof with a perimeter upstand.

With a commitment to saving costs, Swansea City Council investigated the potential for creating its own electricity via the Swansea Environmental Strategy, produced by the Swansea Environmental Forum.

The cost of the installation is reduced by not only the savings from electricity produced and used within the building, but also from the excess power returned to the grid. A highly satisfactory payback of less than six years was estimated, on a conservative basis, for the installation.

Sun shines on Wales' first solar abbatoir

The GR Evans and Co Abbatoir near Corwen uses 120 solar panels on its roof to help power the plant.

Wales' first solar-powered abattoir has been switched on to help process more than 25,000 livestock annually, according to its owners. The GR Evans and Co Abattoir, near Corwen, in North Wales, uses 120 solar panels on its roof to help power the plant and to cut down its £2,000-a-month electricity bills.

It now has a 30-kilowatt solar system on its roof, which should generate more than 25,000 kilowatt hours a year, which is enough to power six family homes.

Solar power in the UK almost doubled in 2014

Solar Power almost doubled in the last year, with 650,000 installations ranging from solar farms to panels on homes, figures showed.
 
By the end of 2014 there was almost five gigawatts (5GW) of solar photovoltaic panels installed, up from 2.8GW at the end of 2013, the department of green energy showed.
 
The solar industry said there were now enough panels installed in the UK to supply the equivalent of 1.5m homes.

First UK hybrid solar park clears planning permission

An existing wind farm in Lincolnshire, owned and operated by Ecotricity has received planning permission by East Lindsey Council to build a 1MW PV power plant on the same site. Groundbreaking on the 4.7 acre (1.9 hectare) site is expected in the next few weeks with grid connection planned in March, 2011. Although other plants have received or are close to receive planning approval, the Ecotricity project could be one of the first utility-scale projects to be commissioned in the UK.
