Will the UK solar sector reach 40GW by 2030?
But all the leading indicators in the UK solar sector today are hinting at a far greater end-goal: 40GW of cumulative deployment by the start of 2030.
How has the UK's solar sector changed over the years?
Image: NextEnergy Capital. The UK’s solar sector is currently undergoing big changes after having bounced back from the shock created by the ending of the country’s production-based subsidies (FiTs and ROCs) during 2017/2018. During H1 2022, the UK installed more than 500MW of solar PV and this is likely to exceed the 1GW level by the end of 2022.
What makes the UK solar market a strong market?
Perhaps the most exciting dynamic in the UK solar market today is the contribution coming from all segments of the market, across different rooftop and ground-mount activities. In terms of establishing a robust market, this is key, as there will always be periods or seasonality issues that cause temporary slowdowns in some of the subsegments.
Will the UK solar market explode this decade?
While dominated by wind power, the UK solar market looks set to explode this decade and has the potential to add up to 25GW. Image: NextEnergy Capital. The UK’s solar sector is currently undergoing big changes after having bounced back from the shock created by the ending of the country’s production-based subsidies (FiTs and ROCs) during 2017/2018.
