solar energy scotland

Industry body Solar Energy Scotland has made a statement fighting the myth that solar farms are a threat to food security.

Volt Group Scotland, a multi-trade service company, has partnered with HDM Energies, a Yorkshire-based renewable energy company, to offer rooftop solar installations for commercial properties with zero capital expenditure.

Solar Energy Scotland has raised concerns over the new energy efficiency standard for buildings put forward by the Scottish government.

The Scottish Greens Party has been assured that the government plans to deploy as much as 6GW of new solar power in the next six years.

Solar is set to play an “important role” in Scotland’s plan to accelerate the renewable revolution, the Government outlined in its new Energy Strategy and Just Transition Plan draft.

Solar Energy Scotland has called for the incorporation of solar photovoltaic (PV) and solar thermal systems into Scotland’s public policy agenda owing to their “significant carbon and cost benefits”.

Cross-party MSPs have released a letter calling on Scotland to set a target of between 4-6GW of solar power capacity, to help it achieve its full potential.

Two dozen Scottish companies have written to their ministers calling for urgent alterations to planning law and tax rules to boost solar capacity and help tackle unprecedented energy costs.

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.
