High Garrett is an 8.444 MWp photovoltaic plant in Essex, located next to the Kentishes solar park. The contract value is £2.33 million, and construction took four months. The plant was energised on 4 November 2020.
Developed without subsidies, High Garrett uses the grid infrastructure and additional export capacity of the existing 5 MWp Kentishes plant. It connects to the UK Power Networks grid at 33 kV. The project expands solar capacity by using an established site and existing infrastructure.
Its exact DC capacity is 8,444.1 kWp. The plant comprises 24,788 Trina Solar TALLMAX modules: 17,108 rated at 345 Wp and 7,680 at 340 Wp, with a system voltage of 1,500 V DC. Equipment includes two SMA MV Power Station 3000 units with SMA Sunny Central 3000-EV inverters. The site is Stisted, Braintree, Essex, CM77 8BY.
