Besides they’d have had to have carried out a complete carbon impact assessments on the whole club according to that site. Sounds expensive.
I have solar panels. It’s not as lucrative as everyone thinks. From a domestic perspective at least the early adopters were paid a fortune by the government but many of those schemes are now closed.
The quote on the planning app for the South Stand was not substantial and was poor value for money from my experience.
It’s most certainly a good idea but not necessarily one of the low hanging fruit to go after. This is all the sort of thing you do to look good and/or satisfy a desire to reduce your impact on the planet.
edit:
That IS a lot and is about 10x what people typically have installed on a home. The south stand may very well struggle to get near that

I'm looking for a kitchen filter in Leeds, any recommendations?

If a carbon impact assessment includes not burning the sausage rolls at half time, then I'm all for it ...

Ample power would be generated for the one string of 12v fairy lights in our infamous Christmas grotto

Thought the owners might had given a interview with the media by now about all that's going on within the club like previous start of season interviews ?

The south stand may very well struggle to get near that 50kW PV occupies an area of about 250m2. The South Stand roof should be able to accommodate at 50m x 5 m. Whether the roof loading is OK is another matter, but should be easily able to cope.
Solar PV peak values can be a bit misleading as the output depends on solar irradiance (how much the sun shines) and installed position/angle. A 50kW peak PV installation on the South Stand roof (handily south facing) but with a shallow roof angle, would generate about 45,000kWh in a year. The best deals are at about 10p/kWh (give or take) which would generate an income of (just) £4500 per year if everything was exported. The benefit comes from avoiding paying for your own electricity when the system is generating. The problem with PV at football grounds is the best months for generation are May-Jul and the demand is only high on infrequent matchdays.

Typical cost is currently about £1500/kW for this size of installation, or £75k. Based on exporting alone, this would be a simple payback of about 16 years.
This would be improved if:
a. There was a genuine grant available
b. The internal usage of electricty produced could be increased on non-matchdays

There was a genuine grant available b. The internal usage of electricty produced could be increased on non-matchdays Thanks for sharing. Kind of backs up my point that it’s not a killer income. Would that payback period be close to non-economical? Given that a lot of inverters have a lifespan of 10-15 years and panels 25 years? Th e inverter replacement would eat up a lot of the benefit from the 16-25 year period? So a labour of trying to do the “right” thing rather than an actual revenue driver? |

Th e inverter replacement would eat up a lot of the benefit from the 16-25 year period? So a labour of trying to do the “right” thing rather than an actual revenue driver? There are a couple of reasons why looking at the payback at 10p only isn't really the way to look at it: 1) Energy used would probably save cost at about 31p (?) per Kwh. It sounds like there are a few experts here with solar and we do have the space for batteries. Would that be viable? 2) I was under the impression that we had agreed to putting solar into the ground to fulfill planning permission conditions. |
