Commercial & Residential Solar

Renewable energy company, Geo Green Power, has signed a multimillion-pound contract with franchise dealership specialist, Inchcape, to install solar photovoltaic (PV) systems on the roofs of a large portion of its 100 showrooms throughout the UK over the next 6-12 months.

With the payback time of rooftop solar panels now just six year, households could benefit from 19 years of “essentially free” electricity during the remainder of their lifespan, according to the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit (ECIU).

The renewables developer, Renewable Energy Systems (RES), has submitted plans for the approval of a 49.9MW solar farm in Longhedge, between the villages of Thoroton and Hawksworth, Nottinghamshire.

Harnessing solar energy via PV and a battery energy storage system (BESS) in a mid-terrace home, compliant with the Future Homes Standard 2025, could see savings of around £40,000 over their lifetime, Solar Energy UK has said.

MCS has appointed the Insulation Assurance Authority (IAA) as a certification body for the installation of small-scale renewables.

SSE Energy Solutions has announced the end of phase one of its country-wide decarbonisation initiative in partnership with Monmouthshire County Council.
