Support Continues to Grow for Solar

Did you know that 53% of people believe solar farms can actually improve local biodiversity? Or that access to the national grid is the primary factor in solar farm locations—a fact only 10% of respondents were aware of?

These are just some of the insights revealed in “2025 – Support Continues to Grow for Solar”, a new report developed by Solar Energy UK in partnership with Copper Consultancy. Based on a nationally representative survey of over 2,000 adults, the findings show a clear and growing shift in public support for solar farms and their role in delivering clean, affordable energy.

The report explores how solar energy is transforming local communities through:

  • Affordable energy solutions
  • Clean power generation
  • Potential biodiversity improvements
  • Strategic development opportunities

Whether you’re a developer, community leader, policymaker, or engaged citizen, this report offers essential insights into public perception that can shape better solar projects, more informed policy, and stronger community engagement strategies.
