Energy from solar
How does solar power work?
We have all seen solar panels on the roofs of houses and buildings in the local area. Solar power works by harnessing energy from the sun’s rays and converting this into electricity.
What is Severn Trent’s current solar power portfolio?
At the moment we have solar panels on the roof of our award winning energy efficient headquarters in Coventry and our office building at Shelton. We are also currently assessing site capabilities to develop more larger-scale solar photovoltaic installations to power our works.
How would this electricity be used?
Electricity from a solar farm would be used across the Severn Trent Water business to reduce our demand for power from the National Grid.
