Renewable Energy from Wind and Solar Power: Law and Regulation
In a world that is shifting away from fossil fuels in response to the threat of climate change, the UK’s low carbon policies have seen renewable electricity capacity increase by more than three times since 2010. The future is clearly one of unremitting growth in electricity generation from wind and solar farms.Renewable Energy from Wind and Solar Power: Law and Regulation is concerned with the law and regulation of electricity generation in the case of the two most popular sources of energy derived from renewable resources.It covers up-to-date national policy and guidance relevant to electricity generation collected from renewable resources.There is also coverage of the powers of local planning authorities and of the Secretary of State, along with devolved powers in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, in dealing with onshore and offshore energy projects along with the impact of Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects under the 2008 Act.This book also covers consents under sections 36 (onshore and offshore wind generation) and 37 (overhead lines) of the Electricity Act 1989 and the grant of FEBA licences from the Marine and Fisheries Agency in the case of offshore consents.The availability of financial assistance for the generation and export of renewable energy to the grid is also dealt with, and there are several case studies examining a number of recent decisions of the courts, the Secretary of State, inspectors and reporters, involving wind and solar energy proposals.Renewable Energy from Wind and Solar Power: Law and Regulation will be an invaluable reference for lawyers, planning professionals and operators in the relevant sectors.It will also be of interest to others in showing how the industry is developing and of the regulatory processes involved in securing consents for the commercial development of energy from wind and solar power.

Is solar energy renewable?
Yes, solar energy is renewable because it is derived from the sun, which is a virtually limitless source of energy. The sun's energy is constantly being replenished and will continue to do so for billions of years. This makes solar energy a sustainable and renewable source of power that can be harnessed for electricity generation and other applications.
-
Who pays for the mandatory installation of solar panels?
The mandatory installation of solar panels is typically paid for by the property owner or developer. In some cases, government incentives or rebates may be available to help offset the cost of installation. However, ultimately the responsibility for paying for the installation of solar panels falls on the individual or entity that owns the property where the panels are being installed.
-
What are solar panels?
Solar panels are devices that convert sunlight into electricity. They are made up of photovoltaic cells that capture the sun's energy and convert it into usable electricity. Solar panels are typically installed on rooftops or in open areas where they can receive maximum sunlight exposure. They are a sustainable and renewable energy source that helps reduce reliance on fossil fuels and decrease carbon emissions.

What should I consider when it comes to Solar Energy? Solar panels, batteries, and inverters.
When considering solar energy, it is important to assess your energy needs and consumption to determine the size and number of solar panels required. Additionally, you should consider the type and capacity of batteries needed to store excess energy generated by the solar panels for use during periods of low sunlight. Lastly, choosing the right inverter is crucial as it converts the direct current (DC) electricity produced by the solar panels into alternating current (AC) electricity that can be used to power your home. It is essential to ensure that all components are compatible and properly sized for optimal performance and efficiency.

Can solar panels with different power outputs be mixed?
Yes, solar panels with different power outputs can be mixed in a solar array. However, it is important to consider the impact this may have on the overall performance of the system. Mixing panels with different power outputs may lead to uneven power production and could potentially reduce the efficiency of the system. It is recommended to consult with a solar energy professional to determine the best configuration for your specific needs.
-
How do solar panels work?
Solar panels work by converting sunlight into electricity through the photovoltaic effect. The panels are made up of multiple solar cells, which are made of semiconductor materials like silicon. When sunlight hits the solar cells, it excites the electrons in the material, creating an electric current. This direct current (DC) is then converted into alternating current (AC) by an inverter, which can be used to power homes, businesses, and other electrical devices.
-
How are solar panels connected?
Solar panels are connected in series or parallel to form a solar array. In a series connection, the positive terminal of one panel is connected to the negative terminal of the next panel, increasing the voltage output. In a parallel connection, the positive terminals are connected together and the negative terminals are connected together, increasing the current output. These connections allow the individual panels to work together to generate the desired amount of electricity.

Is the installation of solar panels over highways a win-win situation?
The installation of solar panels over highways can be considered a win-win situation for several reasons. Firstly, it allows for the generation of renewable energy from an otherwise underutilized space, contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and dependence on fossil fuels. Additionally, the shade provided by the solar panels can help to reduce the heat island effect in urban areas and provide a more comfortable environment for drivers. Finally, the revenue generated from the sale of the electricity produced can help to offset the costs of highway maintenance and infrastructure, potentially saving taxpayer money. Overall, the installation of solar panels over highways can provide environmental, economic, and social benefits.
