rooftop solar

The Community Energy Kickstart initiate, a joint venture between Younity, Octopus Energy and Midcountries Co-operative, has awarded its first advance to Bristol Energy Coopertive to support a 1MW rooftop solar project in Hengrove, South Bristol.

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.

PowerMarket have released the results of a study that indicates that if the UK used 5% of available UK commercial rooftop space for solar, it could lead to an estimated £12.6 billion per year in energy cost savings.

The Scottish Government has been warned that its plan to remove the need to install solar PV systems on new properties and instead install heat pumps could have “major unintended consequences” said Solar Energy Scotland.

Scotland is set to reform its planning rules for solar energy to incentivise rooftop installations across the nation.

Clean Solar Solutions (CSS) has completed the acquisition of a multi-megawatt operation and maintenance (O&M) portfolio from Powersun, which includes both roof and ground mounted sites across areas of the Midlands.

A new solar community energy group, the Big Solar Co-op, has announced its first three projects, located in the Midlands.

Bloor Homes has specified the use of Viridian Solar’s ArcBox solar connector enclosure for all its new houses going forwards.
