Simon Peat, CEO of Project Solar UK
A data science exercise launched today by Project Solar UK assesses the power used in a year by key cities and translates how this could look if solar was used as the energy source.
The data experts worked out a calculation that helped give a visual reflection of how much space solar panels would take to generate the energy required to power various cities. The experts established the square metreage required if solar panels were used to generate energy and were located in the same place to form a solar farm. They then chose a high profile landmark for each city, such as The Corn Exchange in Leeds and Meadowhall in Sheffield, to help people visualise the space required for solar energy to power the cities.
Using the dimensions of typical solar panels available to residential and commercial projects and calculating the area taken…
