SOLAR FARMS ON AGRICULTURAL LAND

In an era marked by surging energy costs and a global push towards sustainability, rural landowners are increasingly considering renewable energy solutions to enhance their properties and finances.



The ideal farm would be using a high amount of electricity or there would be a suitable offtaker that is local to the installation, such as an industrial estate or factory etc – however it is still possible to sell electricity back to the Grid as well



While obtaining planning consent for ground-mounted solar farms on agr...

Dear Terry

I have been so impressed by the installation of my domestic solar panel power generation plant that I thought I would share my experience and feedback with you in case it’s of interest.

Prior to engaging TBE I had been researching this project for over a year, getting quotes from a range of companies and progressing one to the point of having paid a small deposit. Over time I came to realise that many companies have just jumped on the solar panel bandwagon – they were probably doing cavity wall insulation or conservatories when those were the latest “thing”. I’d si...

At TB Electrics we have installed Solar Edge products since we began installing solar panels back in 2011. We found that their products were superb and had already stood the test of time - one of the major differences is their groundbreaking power optimisation technology. Unlike traditional solar pv systems with a string inverter, that are limited by the performance of the weakest solar panel in the array, Solar Edge's power optimisers ensure that each panel operates at its maximum potential at all times, whether there is cloud coverage on one panel, shade from chimney, dirt or a bir...

As the world moves towards more sustainable energy solutions, the adoption of solar power and battery storage systems has surged. These technologies promise not only to reduce our carbon footprint but also to provide a reliable and cost-effective energy source. However, the installation of these systems is not a simple task. Ensuring that installers are properly qualified is crucial for several reasons, including safety, efficiency, and the longevity of the systems. In the UK, adherence to standards such as BS7671, the IET Code of Practice, and the Electrical Safety First Best Practice Guides ...

Britain ready to raise the roof with commercial solar pv potential! Thousands of commercial buildings in the UK could be used to revolutionise our solar pv industry. One of them could be yours ..... Roofs across cities in Britain cover an enormous amount of surface area, yet unfortunately, only a slither of them utilise this space for solar panels. The Governments Solar Taskforce plans to adapt suitable space for solar pv - but you can do this yourself at any time - whether you wish to pay for it upfront and reap all the benefits or you would like to have it installed for free and own it i...

Customers do ask - Why is MCS Important?

We are proud to say that we are MCS Accredited and have been since we started installing solar back in 2012  - in most cases you will need an MCS Certificate to apply for the SEG ( Smart Export Guarantee).  However there has been some confusion with Suppliers suggesting you don't need it -  You can see all the information that you need here direct from MCS - Also giving you information about the bigger picture and that MCS is not only about claiming the SEG (Smart Export Guarantee) when you install a Solar PV system - but is also about the qual...

As a solar pv installation company we wanted to be as green as possible with our accounting - to use less paper and reduce our waste and therefore have more control of our carbon footprint - one of the ways we did this was to introduce less paper by utilising a software package called Dext in our business.  We were recently asked by Dext to help them with a case study on the difference that can be made to your accounting by introducing this software into your business and  were happy to oblige, especially if it helps other Companies to think about doing the same - we started using Dext a coupl...
