Solar powered sluice?

Introduction

The photograph on this page of Solar powered sluice? by Stephen Craven as part of the Geograph project.

The Geograph project started in 2005 with the aim of publishing, organising and preserving representative images for every square kilometre of Great Britain, Ireland and the Isle of Man.

There are currently over 7.5m images from over 14,400 individuals and you can help contribute to the project by visiting https://www.geograph.org.uk

These solar panels are mounted above what appears to be an old sluice gate mechanism or similar. But I could not see where the sluice might be on the adjacent canal.
