DEBATE THE FUTURE OF WADEBRIDGE

Off to see the St Kew solar plans

Off to hear about the proposed 2 mW solar facility at St Kew and learn more about the practicalities, aesthetics and economics of such a large installation. Rural installations will allow economies of scale, but will have the disadvantage of taking land out of agriculture. Their appearance in the countryside may well trouble people too. Using roof-tops, like the Co-op's, gets over the aesthetic problem as people wouldn't see the panels unless they were interested enough to look up. But the installation costs would be greater. We shall see.
