The outlook for the UK’s solar market has improved. Last year saw the highest level of added capacity since 2016, with an estimated total of ~2 GW of photovoltaic (PV) capacity installed. Following a decline in installations across all segments after the closure of the Renewable Obligation (RO) scheme and the Feed-in Tariffs (FITs), the residential, commercial, and industrial sectors have all experienced a recovery over the past three years. According to estimates from EUPD Research, the UK’s cumulative solar PV capacity is expected to reach approximately 31 GW by 2028, although the projected growth will continue to be gradual.
At the end of September, the UK’s largest solar energy exhibition Solar & Storage Live UK 2024 in Birmingham, showcased global market leading and innovative solar and storage solutions and complementary technologies for Residential, Commercial & Large-Scale Utility projects. The event brought together 25,000 solar and storage professionals at the NEC, Birmingham for a highly successful exhibition.
