Solar is the least efficient of all renewable energy sources. On average it can only deliver 11% of its stated output. On-shore wind is 3 times more efficient, off-shore even more efficient. That's why its best placed on rooftops. With these statistics, and bearing in mind we are an island, it would seem far more efficient to invest in off shore wind farms. We live in an AONB which would be forever ruined for us and all those to follow. Immensely sad that a project of this magnitude was even considered.
