However, the taskforce, led by Energy Minister Graham Stuart and Solar Energy UK Chief Executive Chris Hewett highlighted the untapped potential of commercial buildings, schools, warehouses and car parks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Government pledged to establish a taskforce to drive the further growth of solar power as part of Powering Up Britain, accepting the recommendation made by Chris Skidmore in his Independent Review of Net Zero, identifying how the UK could meet its net zero commitments in an affordable and efficient manner.[1,2]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Minister for Energy Security and Net Zero Graham Stuart said:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHouseholds across the UK are already doing their bit to provide cleaner, cheaper and more secure energy sources with the solar panels on their roofs \u2013 but with acres of rooftop space on car parks and supermarkets in every community, we can be doing even more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis new dedicated Solar Taskforce will have a laser-like focus on cutting the costs and breaking down the barriers to harnessing the power of the sun in every way we can, all while using a small fraction of this country\u2019s land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDoing so will make a significant contribution to boosting our energy security, cutting people\u2019s bills and providing long-term jobs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Chris Hewett, chief executive of Solar Energy UK and co-chair of the Solar Taskforce, said<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cInstalling rooftop solar power, whether at residential or commercial scale, is one of the best investments available, offering dramatic savings on energy bills and the opportunity to be paid for sending excess power to the grid. The benefits can also be greatly enhanced by adding a battery storage system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSolar is the most popular form of power generation amongst the British public and consumer demand has never been higher, though the rate of rooftop installation must double to help hit 70GW by 2035. The number of solar farms will also have to increase significantly. I am delighted we now have industry leaders working directly with the Government to resolve the stumbling blocks and maximise the benefits that solar energy offers to the nation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Part of the discussion at its first meeting was how to drive more rooftop installation, such as enabling cost reductions for households and businesses looking to install solar panels, so that even more can reap the benefits of solar power such as reducing their bills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This would come on top of solar panels on the ground \u2013 with the taskforce united that the solar and farming sectors can support each other in meeting energy security goals and maintaining our country\u2019s food security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The taskforce also discussed plans to<strong>:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Publish a <strong>solar roadmap in 2024<\/strong> to drive forward the actions needed to deliver the UK\u2019s ambition to increase solar capacity by nearly fivefold by 2035;<strong><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Upskill and expand the solar workforce<\/strong> to meet increasing levels of demand, while creating well-paid long-term employment opportunities for Britain; and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Identify opportunities to <strong>secure resilient supply chains<\/strong> within the global market, helping to generate opportunities for UK businesses to export their expertise around the world.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The taskforce will be supporting the UK\u2019s solar industry at a time when it is going from strength to strength:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Over 99 per cent of the UK\u2019s solar capacity \u2013 both on the ground and on rooftops \u2013 has been installed since May 2010 \u2013 equivalent to powering nearly four million homes;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In 2020, the solar industry supported 11,500 jobs across the country \u2013 with that figure now expected to be even higher; and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In March this year, the industry installed solar panels at over 17,000 sites \u2013 around 800 each working day.\u00a0 If this continues, there will be 230,000 installations in 2023 \u2013 beating the current record set in 2011<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Chief Executive of renewable energy standards body MCS Ian Rippin said:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe growth we\u2019ve seen highlights the appetite for solar PV and does give some insight into the growing reliance on home-grown energy in the UK.&nbsp; More people are turning to renewable solutions to generate their own power at home and it\u2019s great to see increasing levels of confidence in solar.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[1] <a href=\"https:\/\/assets.publishing.service.gov.uk\/government\/uploads\/system\/uploads\/attachment_data\/file\/1148252\/powering-up-britain-energy-security-plan.pdf\">Powering Up Britain: Energy Security Plan<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[2] <a href=\"https:\/\/assets.publishing.service.gov.uk\/government\/uploads\/system\/uploads\/attachment_data\/file\/1128689\/mission-zero-independent-review.pdf\">Mission Zero: Independent Review of Net Zero<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u2013 ENDS \u2013<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Editor\u2019s notes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Solar Taskforce is on gov.uk <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/groups\/solar-taskforce\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The taskforce\u2019s membership includes the heads or senior officers of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Renewable energy standards body MCS<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Commercial-scale developer Evo Energy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Solar investor NextEnergy Capital<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Energy supplier and solar farm developer EDF<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>International solar business Lightsource BP and leading distributor Segen<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The UK Infrastructure Bank and;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Energy Networks Association.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Annex<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Among the Solar Taskforce\u2019s specific objectives will be mapping the opportunities for large-scale deployment on the public sector estate, which offers a significant opportunity to cut expenditure on energy bills.
