Energy to change the game
With the development of solar farms and rooftop arrays, solar power is transforming the way energy is produced and distributed, says Marcus Dixon from British Solar Renewables
S
olar power has the potential to become a game changer in the energy market. It takes daylight and turns it into money; it
creates clean, home grown energy that’s good for the environment; it is passive technology that’s powering a brighter future. British Solar Renewables (BSR) is the
UK’s leading integrated developer and operator of solar farms and rooftop arrays. Established in 2010, we generate energy from solar photovoltaic (PV) farms and rooftop arrays on commercial buildings and carpark canopies. We have a strong track record of
delivering at every life-stage of a solar project: from design, planning, financing and development; to construction, connection and operation and maintenance. Through this unique structure BSR is able to continually improve efficiencies and drive down costs, the benefits of which we pass on to our stakeholders and customers.
Farming interests
Our unique holistic approach means we can take an everyday field, brownfield site or building, and equip it for green power generation quickly and efficiently. It’s an approach that has already delivered up to 330MW of ‘clean’ electricity, and we have a solid pipeline of projects including green field, brown field, land fill and roof top. We don’t just generate renewable energy because the country requires it, but also because farming interests are at the heart of BSR. We offer crucial diversification options for the farming community, with sensitive use of rural land and consideration for conservation and ecology. We pride ourselves on our product, which enjoys an outstanding reputation with structural integrity, and excellence of quality engineered in from the start. Solar power is transforming the way
energy is produced and distributed, and in doing so it provides home-grown, clean energy which reduces our dependence on imports, as well as our vulnerability to political uncertainty and price spikes. The UK currently has around 5.5GW of solar PV capacity, and by the end of March 2015 this is likely to reach 8GW, offering the fastest

and cheapest way to replace the UK’s ageing power stations generation infrastructure.
Global developments Within the energy sector there has been news of falling oil and gas prices, but solar power is on the up. Developments in USA, China and India, as well as the UK, have been increasing both solar technology’s efficiency and its affordability. This is why sector analysts are increasingly indicating that solar is a disruptive technology, the growth of which could well see it becoming the pre-eminent source of energy in the not-too-distant future. Last year BSR entered into a joint
partnership with Siem Industries Inc., a diversified company providing services to the energy sector. The companies are working together to deliver utility scale renewable power projects in the UK and worldwide. British Solar Renewables is an innovative, dynamic cleantech company positioned to be a significant player in this rapidly emerging global market.
