The 2MW system, taken care of by Ylem, will consist of 4,554 LONGi Solar 455W Modules matched to a Solis Inverter remedy with the array amounting to 9,900 m2. It is designed to match the websites tons requirements for electrical power as well as will certainly be ground mounted.

The agreement has been formalised using a dynamic power acquisition agreement (DPPA) that will certainly enable a reduction in energy cost. This offers a possibility for more management of energy costs for businesses transitioning to renewable energy.

" Companies almost everywhere are feeling the pain of power rate increases. Some will have seen their power bills triple in recent months and also the continuing cost rises are unlikely to quit anytime quickly," stated Ian Gadsby, Ylem Energy managing director.
