Do Bourne food-processing loads suit rooftop PV?
Very well — chilled storage, pack-line HVAC, wash-lines and rapid-chill tunnels deliver flat daytime baseline demand and self-consumption on a well-sized rooftop array runs in the low 90s of percent. Battery storage lifts self-consumption further by covering pre-dawn wash-line start-up.
Are Cherryholt Road roofs PV-ready?
The post-1995 stock takes clamp-mounted arrays cleanly. A minority of older units still carry asbestos-cement and need overroof or replacement scoped into the same programme rather than left to a later phase.
How does NGED handle PE10 G99?
Sub-500 kWp with export limitation typically clears in 10–14 weeks on the Cherryholt Road and Willoughby Road feeders. The Bourne primary carries reasonable rural headroom and 1 MWp arrays remain workable via Design Variation on the Lincolnshire 33 kV group.
What yield does a PE10 rooftop deliver?
Around 980–1,020 kWh per kWp per year on shallow east-west arrays and up to around 1,050 on a south pitch. Fenland-fringe flatness and low horizon shading help annualised output.
How wide is Bourne coverage?
Morton, Thurlby, Rippingale, Dyke, Twenty, Baston and Edenham are day-one visits. Stamford, Spalding, Sleaford, Grantham and Peterborough are on routine survey days from PE10.
