I am still more than a little confused as to what they are really doing.
The college says 700 to 800 panels. Either the panels involved are much
bigger than the ones we see on domestic housing or the array size is
nowhere near 1076KW. If the 1076 figure is really in KWhs then the
probability is that they are aiming to squeeze into the 250KW category
where the initial FIT will be 12.9p (down from 15p).

The college report implies they won't be connected to the grid: "Surplus
electricity will be made available to local community groups and
projects, reducing their energy costs" but I will only believe that when
they can show how they are going "to be self-sufficient with electricity
and not rely on the National Grid".


Its just a load of greenspun greenwash.

Subsidy harvesting probably - they got a grant from somewhere.

None of it adds up or makes any sense.

But since is not a product advertisement its not required to do so.
