Yes, the normal rules do need to be put to one side. I came across this US solar tracking tech/engineered design.. https://ftcsolar.com/voyager-tracker/

Great way to up-cycle the white fertiliser bags. Is there a way to angle the 'panel mats' to a degree which would increase the direction of the reflection of the UV rays onto the panel?

Thank you. That's really good information to know. I was going to ask about reflecting the UV rays back onto the panels using a foil reflector? In the case of the loading bay project we have, the UV ray reflection will come from the white 'roofs' of the trailers, but what would you use in your...

Thanks for the info on the panels and the planning. I not yet sure if planning is required for a vertical panel system on fields. Interesting system you have gone for - vertical to horizontal - is that to track the sun and achieve the highest possible generation?

I don't normally get involved with Solar PV as it's not my area. We focus on BioLPG - CHP systems. I normally pass Solar PV enquiries onto a trusted company but the system over the loading bay and other large areas around the plant peaked my interest as to how the area could be utilised after...

Have you encountered any problems to date with the install? or planning? What panels did you choose?

Had a chat with a client today about his solar PV plans. We discussed a 1MW solar array on fields and an elevated Bifacial system covering his loading bays and the large area around his processing plant. I would be grateful if any of contacts, or not, in the commercial solar PV sector...

Glulam and CLT are the building materials of the future.....back from the past!

Don't forget the embodied carbon positive factor too.

It's timber from sustainable forests used instead of steel. Glulam

The only reason I mentioned Glulam is we are pricing up a job for a milk processing plant to create a structure with bifacial solar panels over the loading bay to generate the power for the chargers for the reefer units on the trailers, when they are the bay. And the client has strong...

Have you thought about CHP fuelled by Bio LPG?

Good shout! I guess it depends on what structure is being built?

Have you priced up glulam? If it would suit your project that is?

If your caravan site has set pitches for each van, have you thought about having Solar PV canopies above each caravan pitch?
