The solar industry very much welcomes the addition of guidance on solar PV to the National Policy Statement for renewable energy infrastructure. However, there are several provisions which could be strengthened, which we have outlined below.
'The UK Solar PV Strategy: Part 2' focusing on our ambition for the key market segments, has been published today. The Solar PV roadmap and strategy set out the guiding principles for deployment of solar in the UK.
The Government plans to install 1GW solar PV generating capacity on their estate through a major programme led by DECC and Cabinet Office. As part of this, the Government will lead an initiative specifically targeted at England and Wales’ 24,000 schools.
Support for solar PV should allow cost-effective projects to proceed and to make a cost-effective contribution to UK carbon emission objectives in the context of overall energy goals – ensuring that solar PV has a role alongside other energy generation technologies in delivering carbon reductions, energy security and affordability for consumers.
DECC will work with the Green Investment Bank (GIB) to explore the scope to support solar PV as part of commercial energy efficiency projects in the UK using GIB funding. With significant increases in solar PV deployment, it is necessary to manage its integration into the electricity system and market.
