After supply of the modules in March and successful installation and connection, the solar farm meets the country’s March 2014 ROC deadline. The 15MW plant is expected to provide clean solar power for around 4,400 local households while saving around 10,400 tons of CO2 emissions per year. The financial terms of the supply agreement were not disclosed.
According to Hanwha Q Cells, the United Kingdom is likely to become the No. 1 European PV market in 2014 and British customers increasingly value premium quality products securing reliable and long-term yields In March the NPD Solarbuzz market researcher raised its 2014 forecast for the U.K. market from 2.27 to 2.5 GW of new PV capacity.
