Sundog Energy installed both wind and solar power on this rural site in Lincolnshire. The turbine is a 2.5kW unit with a 3 bladed rotor of 3.5m diameter mounted on a 6.5m tower. The 1.92kWp solar PV array is ground mounted.

With nothing but cows and a few low hedges and trees around it, this 6kW wind turbine is ideally placed to generate power from the wind. Obstructions can reduce wind speed and cause turbulence - the best site for a wind turbine is in clear, ideally raised, ground, well away from significant obstructions.

This 6kW wind turbine installation is situated near Kendal . The turbine has three blades, a rotor diameter of 5.5m and sits on a 15m tilt up steel tower.

Mounted on a bespoke timber and steel framework, this array of 24 BP solar panels provides power for a remote cottage.

CREA provides support to businesses in Cumbria to “regenerate and strengthen the rural economy creating sustainable employment”. The building benefits from a 10kWp ground mounted solar PV array located next to the main car park.

Profiled metal sheet roofs, such as found on many agricultural and commercial buildings, can often provide an ideal location for a solar PV array. These roofs often have plenty of available, un-shaded space and robust PV panel mounting systems are available to suit most cladding types.
