Stuart Elmes, whose company Viridian Solar secured an exclusive supply deal with housebuilder Persimmon Homes earlier this month, discusses the opportunity for solar PV in the new-build housing market.
New build housing developers are in need of a re-education if they are to realise the benefits that solar and storage installations pose for their projects.
Machynlleth-based renewables firm Dulas has pointed towards a “significant” commercial and new build PV pipeline as it look to bounce back from a difficult 2016.
Commercial rooftop solar specialist Photon Energy has continued to benefit from a strong relationship with Willmott Dixon, completing a 165.5kW solar install on one of its latest new build developments.
Dulas has completed a 9kWp solar install atop a new office building in the heart of London as the company continues to work almost exclusively in a new build sector driven by planning requirements and high building standards.
