The site (depicted) now has a solar array of 1,700 panel. Image: Siemens. International technology company Siemens Mobility has confirmed a new solar array on the roof of the Goole Rail Village. Siemens has enabled the 1,700 panels, which spread over the three production buildings on the site of Goole Rail Village and have a combined capacity of 1 MW. The £ 2 million installation comprises approximately 20,000 square meters of roof space and, according to Siemens, is sufficient to meet the needs of the site. The company has committed itself to ensuring that all the extra energy it must…
The installation on the Blyth Center (shown) can generate 90,000 kWh each year. Image: ORTS CATAPULT. Two solar energy companies established in Northumberland have joined forces to install a customized solar PV system on the roof of the offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Catapult Technology Development Center in Blyth. SCJ Renewables and Solar Capture Technologies worked together to design and install the adapted array, using the innovative composite sun tiles from Solar Capture Technologies. The 106 KWP system consists of 530 solar panels, and OWTS claims that it is able to generate 90,000 kWh energy per year and will save an…
