Got word a junkyard has sam parts i need for a repair job i’m doing. Took some time to find what i need, so in the mean time i also took a look around and found some gear i’m interested in buying. Asked the owner, he’s looking for 35k. Need some time to think it over so while driving back i found this double decker bus.

This solar farm near us is nearly finished now. I got a sneaky tour of it earlier in the year and its immense. Mind blowing large. 160 acres.

Now we find that this lot... https://beaconsolar.co.uk/ are pushing for another site on the other side of our village.. 2700 acres. I am never a fan of farmland being lost to Chinese solar panels... but 2700 acres... WOW. Thats over 100megawatts.

I definitely need to sort my changeover switch and back up generator, as I foresee living in the same locality of one of Europe's largest solar farms might be disruptive.

We’ve done some work on a solar farm recently - since we were there poets have been in and stripped a load of cable (possible inside job as the cctv wasn’t working at the time apparently!).
What they took would weigh in at around £15k - it’s going to cost £350k to repair!!!

The 160 acre site had 24 hour onsite surveillance and security. But nightmare site to secure as so many country lanes and gateways
one I worked on with Russ was the same - had surveillance stations everywhere with cameras covering all four compass points from multiple locations
