It’s SHOCKING that driving on the A14 aound Cambridge you see vast acres of PRIME Grade 1 land covered in…solar panels instead of growing crops!
The answer is not to use prime land or any fields for that matter, to set up solar panel farms but to use a huge existing availble resource…the roofs of all the warehouses and industrial buildings in the UK!
The goverment provides 100% right down of the costs in Year 1 to all companies adding solar panels to their roofs. All companies must comply within 5 years. The companies benefit from the free electricty and the excess production goes into the grid. Imagine if EVERY warehouse roof in the UK had solar panels! Imagine the quantity of FREE electricty that it would produce! And because they are fitted on these roof they are not unsightly!
Even in winter, cumulatively the amount of free energy would still have a significant production impact and positive environmental impact. It’s staggaring to see the oppotunity is staring us all in the face. It’s a win, win – a win for businesses, a win for consumers and win for the environment!
