Over the years, there have been several attempts to build extra-environmentally friendly solar farms, incorporating traditional farming with its 21st century cousins — sheep and free-range poultry ranging in between and underneath solar panels, grazing and generally keeping things tidy. In the same tradition as these farms, Primrose Solar has … [continued]
UK solar power capacity has increased by an impressive 1 GW in the first half of 2014, putting the country ahead of all others in the EU, including Germany.
Originally published on Kompulsa. The Blackfriars railway bridge in London (above the river Thames) has now been furnished with 4,400 solar panels, a collaborative effort between First Capital Connect (the company that runs the Blackfriars Railway station) and Solarcentury. This solar panel array is expected to reduce CO2 emissions by … [continued]
Reposted from Solar Love: The UK’s Solarcentury is about to complete construction of 70 megawatts (MW) of solar power projects, 38 MW of which have been completed in the past 6 months. The entire 70 MW are scheduled for completion by the end of this month (March 2013). “To date, … [continued]
Other than our own stories (and have a few more of those coming shortly), here’s some top cleantech and climate news from the past day or so: Solar Power Fraunhofer Center for Sustainable Energy Systems Selected to Lead U.S. Department of Energy SunShot Project: “The Fraunhofer Center for Sustainable … [continued]
Have a tiled roof? If so, you might want a solar tile, eh? Solarcentury has your back (in Europe, at least). Solar century is a UK solar company that was formed ‘way back’ in 1998. It’s been an innovator in the field, especially in its offering of solar tiles (pictures … [continued]
A remarkable rooftop solar project is now under construction in the UK.

When complete, the Blackfriars Bridge will be the world’s largest solar bridge.
[social_buttons] I just reported on new findings out by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory showing that feed-in tariffs (FITs) are responsible for 3/4 of total solar PV in the world. The UK is the latest country to implement a major FIT program and expectations for solar energy growth as a … [continued]
