Rapid delivery timeline highlights efficiency of Solar project

Elite Precast Concrete Ltd - Concrete Blocks & Retaining Wall Systems News and PR from Elite Precast Concrete Ltd - Concrete Blocks & Retaining Wall Systems - Published 23 February 2025 The UK’s solar power market is experiencing rapid growth, with capacity expected to increase from 15 gigawatts in 2023 to 43 gigawatts by 2028.
This expansion aligns with the countryÂ’s ambitious 2035 decarbonisation targets and has led to significant development in solar farms.

Ground-mounted solar panels offer improved efficiency and provide space for grazing animals and wildlife, are a key component of this growth.

A notable example of this development is the SSE RenewablesÂ’ project at South Littleton in Evesham, where Grupotec Renewables appointed John Russell Digger Hire to install ground-mounted solar panels.

For this project, Elite Precast supplied over 800 maintenance-free precast reinforced solar panel ballast beams made from C40 concrete, which is fire-resistant.

These bespoke ballast blocks, measuring 300mm x 550mm x 300mm, were manufactured using wet-cast moulds using a rigorous quality management system. The production process included visual inspections and daily cube testing in EliteÂ’s
in-house laboratory.

Elite Precast successfully met the projectÂ’s requirements, which enabled Grupotec Renewables to complete the project successfully.

The South Littleton solar farm is designed to generate enough electricity to power approximately 10,000 homes annually, contributing significantly to the UKÂ’s renewable energy goals.
