Solar technologies adorn one in every 20 buildings in the UK, with solutions available for all sizes, from garden sheds to commercial estates.
Empowering the UK solar transformation
Together, we are paving the way for solar to deliver 70GW by 2035 by enabling a bigger and better solar industry.
Solar Energy UK represents 400+ member companies operating in the UK energy sector and beyond.
Solar energy’s exceptional synergies with energy storage, electric vehicles and smart grids means the industry works on the frontline of technology and system change to deliver net zero carbon emissions. Our incisive research, policy development and influence shapes policy and regulation, and drives market growth.
In partnership with key players across the value-chain, Solar Energy UK is working to five-fold increase the UK solar capacity to 70GW by 2035.
Solar Rooftops
rooftops feature solar technology in the United Kingdom, with more than 200,000 non-residential buildings benefitting too
Solar Farms
Well-managed solar farms provide clean power and a haven for local wildlife, including endangered species of plants, insects and birds.
gigawatts of ground-mounted solar projects are currently in the planning pipeline
Energy Storage
Installing battery storage and intelligent energy controls in 4.4million homes would provide enough flexibility to completely flatten spikes in electricity demand.
gigawatts of commercial-scale battery energy storage systems are in the planning pipeline
