| More than 100 solar panels have been laid across the roof of Moores Hill winery overlooking the Tamar Valley. |
More than 100 solar panels cover the roof of their new winery, generating 30 kilowatts of electricity.
A bank of batteries stores a further 81 kilowatt hours, and after vintage, surplus solar power can be fed to the cellar door.
Owners of battery-powered cars can also charge their vehicles at the winery.

"Tesla drivers are quite organised and like to plan their trips.
