125kW PV system at Millers Farm Shop, Axminster, Devon

Local Business invests for the future

The Miller family has been growing and selling locally sourced produce for over 30 years. They were keen to embrace renewable energy as a means of reducing the impact of their business on the environment, whilst minimising energy costs and earning a significant income from the Feed-In Tariff. SOL Electrical were appointed to design and install a PV system that would meet the specific energy requirements of the business.

System Details

• 125kW with the potential to deliver all of the electricity required across the site
• Export limitation boosts on-site consumption of electricity produced, so minimising Grid electricity costs
• Panels: 500 x German-manufactured SolarWorld Polycrystalline (with 10 year product warranty)
• Inverters: 4 x SolarEdge SE27.6K (with 12 year warranty) maximise performance

The Feed-in Tariff provides financial gain in 3 ways:

• The generation tariff provides an index-linked income for every kW/hr generated
• The export tariff is paid on top of the generation tariff for PV generation sold back to the grid
• The level of grid electricity bought and consumed is much lower with the PV in place.
