Two miles from Cardiff International airport West Hall Solar Farm is an exceptional example of solar farming. The 37 acre site delivers an exceptional layout for solar panels coupled with a slight southerly gradient enabling the rows to be positioned closer together.

West Hall is a 5.6MWp solar farm installed on 37 acres of low grade agricultural land in West Aberthaw in the Vale of Glamorgan. The site is sandwiched between a large concrete works and a power station.

This solar farm consists of approximately 18000 solar panels, with the capacity to generate 5,400 MWh per year. The energy produced is distributed in the surrounding area and is expected to power around 2000 homes, which translates into a saving of nearly 1290 tonnes of carbon per year.

Renewable energy schemes like this installation at West Hall is a prime example of how INRG is helping Government achieve its target of 20 percent of the UK’s electricity to be generated from renewable sources by 2020.
