Growth & Opportunities in the UK's Commercial Solar Rooftop Market

The lucrative commercial solar rooftop market in the UK has finally taken off, having been in a start/stop phase for years during the ever-changing FiT phases leading up to the start of 2019. Since then, a host of drivers have turbo-boosted this sector, leading to a deluge of planning applications across the UK.

Installations are taking place now at an unprecedented rate, creating a sustainable market, and providing much needed repeat business for local installers and component suppliers with products optimized for rooftop applications. National and regional grants can also be seen as the main push for local authorities to finally embrace solar PV rooftops as a key part of long-term sustainability goals. Nationwide commercial outlets and single-site owners/occupiers now see on-site generation by solar rooftops as critical within their ‘green’ strategies, and this is fueling multi-MW deployment on distribution centres and warehouses.

Having been tracking the UK solar rooftop market now for over a decade, Solar Media has unique insights regarding the individual sites and key stakeholders driving the market now. Our market research team has been diligently tracking planned applications post-subsidy in particular since the end of 2018, and we can now announce the release of our dedicated UK Solar Commercial Rooftop Opportunities Report.

To understand how your business can benefit from the new report, and to gain further details on what the commercial solar rooftop market in the UK will look like in 2022, we would like to invite you to participate in a free webinar delivered by our head of market research, Dr. Finlay Colville.
