Lightsource Renewable Energy, the UK’s largest solar developer, is planning to install a 5.4MW solar farm across 16 hectares of land at Crapnell Farm near Wells.
The mass roll-out of smart meters has been delayed by a year following concerns that the industry is not fully prepared to implement the technology across 30 million UK homes.
Renewable energy company Absolute Solar and Wind has installed 96 2kW solar power systems on three sheltered housing developments in the West of Scotland.
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.
