deployment

The UK government has published solar PV deployment statistics which show a total of 15.2GW of solar capacity, an increase of 6.7% in the year since June 2022.

New data from NTT DATA, based on UK government statistics, suggests that 73% of all solar deployment in 2022 was domestic.

The UK will need to deploy 80GW of solar to meet net zero according to a new whitepaper.

The Solar Trade Association (STA) has once again hit out at the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) over its solar statistics.

The government expects its proposed Smart Export Guarantee to have a positive, albeit notional impact on domestic solar deployment it has said.

The government quietly abandoned plans to install 1GW of solar on its estate following cuts to subsidies it enacted in 2015, Solar Power Portal can reveal.

There remain mixed views on where the UK solar industry goes from now. In the wake of a six-year low in deployment, Finlay Colville mulls the options.
