What a day!
I like when a house's roof area is fully utilized for solar. Any solar is good but this one's neat appearance beats little piecemeal systems like this one: www.flickr.com/photos/suavehouse113/3727997593

This 10.78 kW solar system is mounted on a large rack structure
designed to securely hold the 44 ISOFOTON 245-watt solar panels. The electricity captured by the panels is converted from DC to AC by two large SMA inverters, which were selected to maximize the amount of power produced by this new solar photovoltaic array.

This photovoltaic system is relatively new because it doesn't show up on Google Maps' "street view." This is still one of my favorite streets in Fremantle. It took awhile for me to warm up to this style of architecture, but now I really like the stone cottages with metal roofs, awnings, and lacework trim.

Mark this in your diary. Today the Ratcliffe-on-Stour coal-powered thermal power station shutdown. It was the last of its kind still operating in the UK.
The world-wide trend to coal-fired electricity generation began in London in 1882 — its smog nearly wiped out the populace. Now the UK is leading the way by moving on, in part, from boiling water in the steam age to powering the country without coal.
My rule is to never take photographs from inside a moving vehicle with an addendum to if you break this rule, don't show them to anyone else. Ooops!
This snapshot is significant despite its humble appearance. It was taken out of the windscreen of a bus travelling between Bodmin and Goonhilly. There's been the bare bones of a discussion about whether the UK can afford to build solar photo-voltaic (PV) "farms" when that land might produce food. I can tell you, that along this route, and this is agricultural land, there's plenty of solar PV, wind turbines like this and land under tillage.
What I find significant is that last year, before Ratcliffe-on-Stour was shut, the UK was powered by as mix electricity generation of roughly ⅓ gas-fired, ¼ wind, 13 per cent nuclear and the rest: everything else. Note how small the nuclear component is and how far from completion is the under-construction Hinkley Point C — ETA 2031. Yet the UK has the confidence to push ahead as a world leader — again. I don't say this in jest: the industrial revolution, railways, high speed signalling, radar, Goonhilly was built for Telstar1, commercial supersonic air travel, sinking the unsinkable…scratch that one.
Now, I haven't seen a lot of the UK's coal fields. But I got a glimpse at Clipstone on the edge of what was Sherwood Forest. I have an eye for landforms and unnatural terrain. If you think solar PV and wind turbines are a risk to food production, then what was once Sherwood Forest before it was mined for coal is an eye-opener. The "hills" around Edwinstowe are fake; spoil from mining. They are steep and barren; without soil. Sherwood Forest itself remains productive; full of wild food and biological productivity. Efforts to maintain its "nature" include the grazing of cattle, keeping the forest from choking itself.
You could cover those mullock heaps near Edwinstowe with solar PV and not notice a thing except the price of power would drop and the lights would stay on. Even at night? Too right! Technology like pumped hydro and vanadium batteries have been around for a long time. But apart from examples like the Snowy Hydro where electricity from coal-fired plants is green-washed to pump the water back up hill, and small research and industrial installations of vanadium batteries have been built, these things which are highly scalable have been suppressed by false economies propping up coal extraction.
Oh, if you think it's too cloudy in the UK for solar PV, take a peek at Europe. Relax, you don't have to risk travelling, just watch, say, next year's Ronde van Vlaanderen cycling race. Covered by TV cameras on helicopters, the incidental roofs around the race are bedecked with solar PV in soggy Belgium. Surely the purpose of Brexit wasn't to willingly and knowingly fall behind the rest of Europe?

On Tuesday afternoon, May 24, 2016, the Upper Minnesota Valley Regional Development Commission hosted a West Central Clean Energy Resource Teams (WC CERT) event focused on all things solar. The event was geared toward helping participants understand what solar means for local government, planning agencies, and residents.
