rooftop pv

Solar PV has been installed on the roof of the Scottish National War Memorial at Edinburgh Castle by AES Solar as part of a programme to reduce energy use on historic properties

New research from the University of Sussex has highlighted how increased government support is needed to make solar viable for a range of consumers.

A reduction on VAT for solar and storage among other technologies would be a fast and simple way to reduce the impact of the energy price crisis on consumers, Solar Energy UK has said.

The installation of rooftop solar PV across several buildings, alongside battery storage and solar canopies, has begun at Portsmouth International Port as part of its bid to reduce carbon emissions to net zero by 2030.

As of the end of November 2021, there were 472 solar PV installations under Phase Two of the Local Authority Delivery of the Green Homes Grant.

Solar Power Portal caught up with Segen’s sales and marketing director Liz MacFarlane late last year to discuss how Segen’s been managing the supply chain challenges seen across the PV sector and the increased demand for energy storage and higher efficiency modules.

Engenera has completed the installation of 610 solar PV panels on the roof of St. Mary’s Catholic School in Newcastle.

Solar Energy Scotland’s calls for the Scottish Parliament to make key policy changes to support solar have been backed by a new motion put forward by Fergus Erwing MSP, stressing the need to scale-up solar deployment.

While the Net Zero Strategy includes plans to review the frequency of Contracts for Difference (CfD) auctions, a concrete UK solar deployment target was absent.

Rooftop PV has been installed for Kings Lynn-based Sensient Technologies by Engenera Renewables Group, and linked to a 25-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA).
