Members of the public in Exeter who thought solar panels were only used to generate renewable electricity on houses and in fields have been stunned over the past few weeks to see a High tech ‘solar van’ – emblazoned with PV panels – at various locations around the city.
The solar van, designed and put together by local company SunGift Energy, has been cruising around the city, visiting shows, and parked up at various events with the aim of demonstrating to the public that it is possible for solar PV to provide 100% renewable energy to almost any location within minutes of arriving...
Despite poor weather, Met Office solar PV has generated more than estimated in first year.
A year after a 250 kW solar PV array was installed at the Met Office HQ Exeter, and – despite some terrible weather over the past 12 months – the system has still out-performed initial estimations.
The sun may be in full view now (with the Met Office predicting below average rainfall and above average temperatures throughout July) but official statistics show that 2012 was one of the wettest years on record for the UK and June 2012 was the least sunny in records dating back to 1910....
Exeter renewable energy specialist SunGift Solar has completed a flagship 250 kW solar PV system for Numatic International – manufacturer of the world-renowned Henry vacuum at the company’s HQ in Chard, Somerset.

It will help power thirty-four computer-controlled injection-moulding machines and will save the production of more than 120 tonnes...

The panels, which are being installed by Exeter renewable energy specialist SunGift Solar, will deliver an on-going reduction in the Council's energy costs as well as reducing its carbon footprint. The other buildings benefitting from the 'green'...
The Express & Echo has announced that it is to team up with Marsh Barton-based Sungift Solar to shed some much-needed festive illuminations on Exeter's High Street this Christmas.
Following the announcement in summer that there would be no main Christmas lights display for the city, many were questioning whether a knight in shining armour would step in like last year, when South West Communications and Exeter Chiefs Chairman Tony Rowe funded the High Streets lights.
However, it was announced today that the Echo is providing funding for the lights, while SunGift Solar is...
