Bedford BC - OFFICIAL-Unsecure

 

Hi Chris,

 

You still need to know the depth of the archaeology as the shallow ballast is usually anywhere between c.200 – 400mm. And you still need to take into account the location and extent of any associated cabling, inverter/transformer kiosks etc. However, many of our recent farms have run the cabling between each panel above ground leaving a single underground run to the kiosks - normally parallel to and within any new tracks.

 

Regards

Hi Folks,

Has anyone had experience of Solar farms using photovoltaic ground array panels mounted on concrete footpads? Apparently these Solar farms are archaeology friendly!
