Join us in our mission to build a solar farm in Humshaugh.
We are a community benefit society developing a community-owned solar project in the parish of Humshaugh.
Join us in making a difference today.
The site is a one-hectare parcel of poor-quality farmland. It seems waste was dumped here from the adjacent limestone quarry several hundred years ago.
The project will consist of about 2,000 solar panels mounted on ground-mounted frames. They will be arranged in a number of strings. At the end of each string there will be an inverter that will convert the 800V dc electricity generated to 800V ac. The strings will be linked together in the substation. The substation will be connected to the Northern Powergrid 20kV electricity distribution grid via a transformer. The substation will also contain the import & export meters to monitor electricity production. The site will be fenced and monitored by CCTV. Access to the site, from the unmarked road running along the northern boundary, will be improved to allow safe access during construction.
The site is expected to export about 1,000,000 kWh of electricity each year. (A house typically uses 3,500 kWh.) If this was imported from the national grid, 217 tonnes of carbon emissions would be produced per year.
