Derril Water Solar Park is the UK's largest community-owned solar farm, located near Pyworthy, Devon. This 42 MWp solar farm contains over 68,000 solar modules capable of generating renewable energy sufficient to power around 14,000 homes annually. A distinctive feature of the site is its dual-purpose land use, with much of the area managed through sheep grazing once operational.
In addition to its agricultural benefits, Derril Water Solar Park is committed to ecological enhancement, establishing and enhancing high-value habitats including species-rich grassland, hedgerows, and additional native tree planting to support wildlife. Derril Water represents one of the largest community investments in UK history, having raised over £20 million through the participation of almost 10,000 households and small businesses. Originally managed by Ripple Energy, the project remains on schedule to begin energy production in summer 2025 and is now professionally managed by Communities for Renewables (CfR).
