The ground array of solar PV at a National Trust site in Wales

The project should generate up to half the electricity the heritage house requires, as well as a source of income from the Feed-in Tariff. Having provided a full planning consultancy service for multiple solar PV sites across the National Trust portfolio in Wales, Dulas advised a free-standing, ground mount ballasted array, which would provide the optimum solution to be delivered within the tight timescales.
The National Trust has made a commitment to reduce its reliance on fossil fuels by 50% within the next eight years. It aims to cut carbon emissions from energy use for heat and electricity by 45%, beating the government’s target of a 34% reduction in CO2 by 2020.
