Empowering the UK solar transformation

Working across the industry, we’re paving the way for solar to deliver 60GW by 2030, enabling a bigger and better sector.

Solar Energy UK represents 400+ member companies across the UK energy sector.

With strong links to storage, EVs and smart grids, solar plays a leading role in the shift to net zero. Our research, policy work and advocacy shape regulation and drive market growth.
