Installing solar panels on commercial business properties is a highly coordinated operation that combines engineering planning, specialist lifting equipment, and strict safety compliance. Unlike residential installs, commercial solar projects often involve larger panels, heavier loads, taller buildings, and minimal disruption to daily business operations. This guide explains how solar panels are safely lifted and mounted […]
Legoland Windsor Resort are installing a 1.2MW solar carport designed to power the resort’s new Woodland Village with clean, renewable energy. The solar installation, expected to produce around 1.1 million kWh of electricity per year, will meet the energy demands of 150 new lodges at the Woodland Village, part of a £35 million investment by […]
A Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) is a long-term contract between an energy generator and a buyer (known as the ‘offtaker’), where the buyer agrees to purchase electricity at a pre-agreed rate for a fixed period of time. In simple terms, it’s a way for businesses, organisations, or property owners to access renewable energy, such as […]
Great British Energy will extend its successful public sector solar rollout to military land, schools, and hospitals, while introducing stronger protections for clean energy workers across the UK. Communities nationwide are set to benefit from new investment in public services as an additional £75 million is allocated to expand the company’s solar programme. The funding […]
As the UK transitions towards net zero, renewable energy technologies are becoming increasingly innovative. One of the fastest-growing trends is floating solar panels, sometimes called floatovoltaics. These systems combine solar power generation with water surfaces such as reservoirs, lakes, or even disused quarries. But what exactly are floating solar panels, how do they work, and […]
Churches across York and North Yorkshire are turning to solar panels and other green technologies to cut rising energy costs while reducing their carbon footprint. Through the Building Sustainable Hope project, twenty Methodist churches have benefited from sustainable energy upgrades including solar PV panels, air source heat pumps, and low-energy LED lighting. These improvements are […]
Installing commercial solar panels on farmland is becoming increasingly popular among UK farmers who want to cut energy costs, diversify income, and support the transition to renewable energy. With careful planning, solar arrays can be integrated into fields while still allowing grazing animals, such as sheep, or even certain crops to grow beneath and between […]
The East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trust (EEAST) is now saving significantly on energy bills thanks to newly installed solar panels at its state-of-the-art Ipswich Ambulance Hub, funded by Great British Energy. One of the First NHS Sites to Go Solar The Ipswich Ambulance Hub is among the first five NHS sites in the […]
The Arctic Circle city of Tromsø, Norway, is now home to a groundbreaking solar power project designed specifically for extreme northern conditions. Over Easy Solar, a Norwegian solar technology company, has set a world record by installing the largest rooftop vertical solar array ever built. The system features 6,400 vertically mounted panels on the flat […]
The first five NHS sites and three schools have been fitted with Great British Energy solar panels, with eight more schools set to join the scheme this autumn. This rollout is already delivering significant savings, freeing up money for vital services like textbooks and patient care. In total, five NHS sites and 11 schools across […]
