Wick's Nucleus Archive Files for Solar and Battery Installation
Wick's Nucleus Archive has submitted a planning application for a solar PV system and battery storage units to support decarbonisation efforts. The project aims to enhance green energy infrastructure in the region.

The Nucleus Archive in Wick has lodged a planning application with Highland Council for a solar photovoltaic (PV) array and two battery storage units, part of a site-wide decarbonisation initiative. The solar installation will use DMEGC Solar N-type bifacial double-glass modules, offering a maximum efficiency of 23.3% and generating between 445 and 465 watts.
Each battery unit, measuring 10ft per side and weighing 11 tons, will be located in the car park. The application has been validated by the local authority and has cleared initial technical reviews, including a confirmation from National Air Traffic Services (NATS) En Route Plc regarding air traffic management criteria. The next consultation is scheduled for August 11.
