Wadworth Brewery - Visitor Centre
With 200 panels installed, producing 44kWp, this solar PV installation has been generating about 38,755kWh of energy and saving more than 20 metric tons of carbon dioxide on an annual basis.
This solar PV installation has been generating power since 9th May 2013, but detailed monitoring was only put in place in from 4th June 2013. The total power generated from the start of service through to the 4th June is therefore shown as an adjustment to the total power generated for 2013 in the performance data discussed below.
Performance data
The charts available below show the daily power that has been generated in kWh for individual months (new monthly tabs and years will be added as more data is collected). Please note that the 'last' month may not show all the days untill all the data has been collected, which may not be until several days into the 'new' month.
Additional inverter performance data is available here (plus a special display screen can be shown here).

The photo on the left shows the installation in August 2015 after it has been in service for more than 2 years.
As can be seen, there is a sizeable, south(ish) facing, roof area available.
The photo on the left shows the installation from over the road at street level, shortly after completion in May 2013.
