Siemens announces that it has completed work on a 200 kWp solar farm for the University of York (England), located in the University's new 'Institute for Safe Autonomy', as part of a £1.5 million research project.

Funded by the UK Research Partnership Investment Fund (UKRPIF), the project will enhance the research capabilities of the Institute, which is seeking to develop and test robots and other autonomous systems for the inspection and maintenance of solar panels.

The solar park will thus constitute a 'living laboratory' for the Institute, while enabling it to achieve a 'net zero' energy balance by 2025, notably by producing more than 80% of the 600 kWh of electricity consumed daily by the building.
