Philip Wolfe (engineer)

Philip Rowland Wolfe MBE is one of the pioneers of the British renewable energy sector.

He was a founding director of the European Photovoltaic Industry Association (EPIA, since renamed Solar Power Europe) and its third President from 1987 to 1989.

[9][10] Following the publication of his book on the subject,[11] he founded the information resource on utility-scale solar power, Wiki-Solar.

A series of articles in 2019 explained the differences between individual power plants, solar parks and clusters, and identified the largest in the world at the time.

[18] Amongst Philip Wolfe's innovations were the UK's first: grid-connected solar power station at Marchwood,[19] building-integrated renewables at Energy World in Milton Keynes (opened by then Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher),[20] and solar roofing slate.
