Sheeplands farm is the first site in the UK to install Hydrelio © floating solar PV
This system
allows the farm to utilise their new 60 million litre irrigation
reservoir by generating renewable energy on-site to power the
reservoir’s pump. The installation of solar on water enables Sheeplands
Farm to increase their energy independence without using up valuable
land space.

This 200KWp
installation is comprised of 800 market-leading Trina panels. The panels
are assembled on land and then carefully lowered into the water. The
installation also benefits from the government’s Feed-in-Tariff.
