Wight Energy recently completed
work on a massive Solar Farm in
Shalfleet that will provide up to one
million kWh per annum of green
energy. Consisting of over 4,000 solar
PV panels Wight Energy used their
extensive skills to wire and connect
the panels in addition to groundworks
across the site, G59 testing
requirements, inverter electrics and
more. Over 25 of the Wight Energy
team were involved in the project
which was completed in only two
months. As an Island based company
with a broad range of professional
skills, Wight Energy was the natural
choice for this important project.
So, whether you need an electrician
to mend a light fitting, your gas boiler
serviced, new taps installed, your hotel
or factory safety inspected or a solar
farm installed, Wight Energy are there,
whatever the requirement.
