University of Surrey Solar Facility

Our proposed low impact solar facility will generate clean, renewable energy to supply power directly into Surrey University. At just over 12 MW, the solar facility will save emissions equal to removing over 2000 cars from the road every year, while enhancing local biodiversity.

About Our Solar Project

university-of-surrey-aerial-view.jpg

The University of Surrey has partnered with SSE Energy Solutions to propose the development of a 12.2MW solar facility situated on three fields on the University’s land to the west of Guildford. The solar facility will vastly increase the renewable energy capacity for the University and act as a steppingstone for the University and Guildford Borough Council to reach their net-zero carbon emission goals. This facility will deliver clean renewable energy side-by-side with nature, providing carbon reduction benefits along with new and improved habitats for local wildlife.

At just over 12 MW, the solar facility will save emissions equal to removing over 2000 cars from the road, every year it’s in operation.

This is time-limited development and at the end of the solar facility's life (35 years) all equipment will be dismantled and removed from the site.
