Including 13 closely related terms such as photovoltaic, photovoltaic, and panels.
…-mounted solar PV, or around a third cheaper than ‘car park’ PV. In holistic terms it is possible that a mix of wind and solar generation is the most effective option, as this would allow generation beyond the hours of daylight. Note too that wind turbines generally have a significantly smaller carbon footprint from manufacturing than monocrystalline PV panels. Finally, for all renewables…
… electricity generation This entails deployment of renewable energy generation technology such as solar photovoltaic (PV) arrays or wind turbines. This is a process sometimes known as ‘insetting’ (for ‘internal offsetting’), as it enables an equivalent displacement of emissions from within the organisation’s boundaries. Solar PV generation ClearLead identified two potential ‘phases’ of PV: smaller…
… as electricity costs rise Note that some types of solar PV panel, notably crystalline panels, can have significant ‘embodied carbon’ – that is, the panel manufacturing process itself generates significant GHG 6 Cokayne Avenue and Shawcroft Park Road in Ashbourne, Bakewell ABC, plus ARC Leisure and The Station in Ashbourne. These are the Council’s five…
… Bakewell ABC • Install roof-mounted solar PV on Northwood Depot and Bakewell ABC • Install additional renewable electricity generation equivalent to a 2MW solar PV array (e.g. Watery Lane) • Electrify vehicle fleet up to LGV size. These measures would allow DDDC to attain net zero status by 2030 (or significantly earlier) at an estimated cost of approximately £2.5m. 6 | P…
…) and switching to more efficient or less polluting energy sources (for instance, replacing diesel vehicles with electric equivalents). More radical options might include projects such as building stock replacement. The key options available to DDDC are explored in Sections 0 and 0. 2. Low-carbon generation Options such as solar PV, wind turbines and biomass boilers to replace higher-carbon intensity…
