Figures show annual growth is now being seen across all three segments of the solar market – residential, commercial rooftop and ground-mount installations. With the data suggesting ground-mounted solar parks will form 70% of the new capacity while rooftop solar capacity has seen 14% year-on-year growth.
Solar Energy UK Chief Executive Chris Hewett said: “The UK solar industry is going from strength to strength.”
The authors of the report also note that growth has helped the country reach a total installed PV capacity of more than 14 gigawatts. This translates to enough electricity to power more than three million homes.
Solar Energy UK Chief Executive Chris Hewett said: “The growing pipeline of subsidy-free projects reflects the confidence investors have in solar technology, and the UK can look forward to solar delivering an increasing amount of clean, affordable power.”
