Author: Jamie | Date: Wednesday, February 22, 2012 | 2 Comments
Natural Generation Ltd of St Agnes are delighted to have been awarded one of the largest on-roof installation of solar photovoltaic panels in Cornwall. The installation of 320kWp from 4,000 panels has just begun and the scheme is beginning to take shape. Natural Generation’s General Manager, Jamie Luke, said “Everyone here is very excited about this contract. This will really cement Natural Generation’s lead in the commercial PV installation market in Cornwall.”
Using First Solar Thin Film FS-380 panels, the system in Bodmin is expected to generate in the region of 280,000 kWh per annum; to compare, the average 3 bedroom family home uses 4,500 kWh. Jamie Luke added “We have many more commercial contracts in the planning stage and they should be coming on-line soon. With electricity prices increasing, using PV panels is a real alternative for a business to earn money from their roof space and increase their Green Credentials. This is certainly going to be a fantastic year for us, our commercial customers and the environment.”
We will keep updating this story as it happens.
UPDATE 5th July
