There are many areas of the country where large arrays of photovoltaic cells can be installed. This report is structured to tell you what is possible on your land.

 

1.    Check sunlight hours at location by reference to maps and other available data.

2.    Prepare simple 3D map for area and identify constraints of useful land.

3.    Calculate potential output for land orientation and scale of installation.

4.    Review key planning issue of visual impact and research Local Planning guidelines.

5.    Review electricity distribution system for voltage, proximity to substations and other nearby users.

6.    Review access for materials.

7.    Prepare a short report on observations and conclusions about suitability.
