6 FAQs about [Latest national solar power news]
Does the new UK government want solar energy to grow?
Chris Hewett, chief executive of Solar Energy UK, told pv magazine he believes the new UK government “unambiguously” wants the industry to grow, a first for the trade association. “It’s central to their economic strategy,” said Hewett, “There is no path to their growth strategy that doesn’t go through the clean energy transition.”
Will a UK government back solar?
Signs of a UK government that’s prepared to back solar have emerged within a fortnight of the Labour Party securing victory in the General Election. The government has already signed off on more than 1 GW of new solar capacity. It’s been a whirlwind two weeks for the UK solar industry.
Can a wind farm & solar site bring more green energy online?
But now energy companies are warning that significant delays to connect their green energy projects to the system will threaten their ability to bring more green power online. A new wind farm or solar site can only start supplying energy to people's homes once it has been plugged into the grid.
Why is solar so popular in the UK?
The growth we’ve seen highlights the appetite for solar PV and does give some insight into the growing reliance on home-grown energy in the UK. More people are turning to renewable solutions to generate their own power at home and it’s great to see increasing levels of confidence in solar.
