A SCOTTISH manufacturer of solar panels is the only company of its kind in Europe to have been selected to work on an EU wide project which will promote renewable technology.
AES Solar, based in Forres, received £250,000 in funding to provide its expertise in the design of solar thermal and solar pv systems.
The firm which was established in 1979 and is the longest running solar thermal manufacturer in Western Europe will work alongside other researchers and companies who specialise in other renewable measures in Spain, Italy, Denmark, Hungary, Bulgaria, Poland, Belgium in the Heat4Cool project.
Grant Feasey, senior design engineer with AES Solar said he was “delighted” to be working on the project.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
