Hi Binky,
No, not at all. What it is, is my other half has a rented field that she keeps her stinky horses in. The people that own the field have a field next door, that they are supposed to be having these solar panels put up. I could not care what they do, BUT, they let my other half use this field, they let her spend £700 on fencing it, she put her horses in this field where they promptly contracted strangles, and now they tell her she has to move them as "her" field is to be used as a base fro construction operations. Now this is all very well, it is their field and they can do what they like, but letting someone spend £700 fencing a field when you KNOW that you are going to tell them to move, is not very fair.. It is not the way i wouild choose to conduct my affairs.....
As a matter of interest, say in a field you have an 11kv overhead supply, and then 400 yards away, you have an ordinary supply "out in the street" How long do you think it takes to construct such a solar installation, complete with all its buildings or whatever may be needed, and how does it connect to the mains?? the 11kV or to the LV main in the street??
What is the output of these things?? is it single phase, three phase, 230, 400 or what?? When you say 8Mw do you mean like as in 8,000,000 / 400 / 1.732 = 1154 Amps??? Do not think the 185mm cable in the street will be too pleased with that!!
