• GLASTONBURY FESTIVAL BOSS, UNVEILS LARGEST PRIVATE SOLAR ELECTRIC GENERATING SYSTEM IN UK.


    15 November 2010

    Michael Eavis,  Glastonbury supremo has  unveiled an array of 1,116 solar panels installed on the cowshed nicknamed the Mootel, to the sound of a musician, playing Here Comes the Sun on the vibraphone, chosen because its aluminium bars resemble solar panels.  Eavis built the cowshed 7 years ago, and made sure the roof sloped southwards and was strong enough to support 20 tonnes of PV panels.
    The PV modules will generate enough to power the equivalent of 40 homes annually. The 1,500 acre site at Worthy Farm also has  reservoirs so that water is on-site, and they are linked into the sewage system.
