6 FAQs about [The host talks about rural solar power generation]

Are rural areas leading the way on solar power generation?

New CPRE analysis reveals that homes in the countryside are leading the way on solar power generation. 48 of the 50 English parliamentary constituencies with the highest domestic solar generation capacity are in rural areas, while all 200 of those with the lowest are in towns and cities.

Should solar power be integrated with rural landscapes?

Interestingly, rural organisations such as the National Farmers’ Union and the Country Land Business Association have in recent years been supportive of integrating solar power generation with rural landscapes. They view it as a sound diversification strategy which provides farmers with a reliable source of income.

Will a'restricting solar panels on farmland' help food security?

A rumoured plan from the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs to dramatically restrict solar panels on farmland in the UK will not help food security – which is threatened far more by climate change – let alone energy security, and is at odds with the Government’s Net Zero Strategy.

Can solar power be integrated with food production?

And indeed a plethora of examples of solar power generation being integrated with food production exist, in the UK and beyond. These approaches are commonly referred to as Agri-PV. Zimmermann PV-Agri, for instance, have integrated solar panels into a variety of horticultural operations.

Are solar panels taking grazing pastures out of food production?

It is a question that divides farmers nationwide, and is being debated on the Somerset Levels. On ancient grazing pastures steel and silicon solar panels are being installed, taking thousands of acres of farmland out of food production.

Are swathes of British farmland being turned over for solar energy?

On the Cambridgeshire/ Suffolk border Sunnica Energy got the green light in July for a 2,500-acre solar park. Campaigners argue that vast swathes of British farmland is being turned over for solar energy use, never to be farmed again. But are they right? "We actually need a tiny amount of land," said Chris Hewett, Chair of Solar Energy UK.
