<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UK\u2019s largest roof-mounted solar energy installation will be conducted at the Port of Liverpool, energy company E.ON announced today.[1]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project for Peel Ports Group will install up to 31 megawatts of solar generation capacity, distributed across 26 buildings. Solar Energy UK members EMTEC<\/a>, FES<\/a> and Absolute Solar<\/a> have been appointed as contractors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRunning to about five times larger than the UK\u2019s biggest installation at present, the Port of Liverpool project is a huge step up for the commercial rooftop solar industry. I warmly congratulate our members for participating in it,\u201d said Chris Hewett, Chief Executive of Solar Energy UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe sad thing is that so many businesses around the country want to do the same but have been stymied by the inadequate capacity of the local electricity grid. This is acting as a serious drag on the economy. Operators must prioritise investment in strengthening their networks, so that more projects like this can go ahead,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Completed in 2020, the largest rooftop solar installation in the country is currently Custom Solar\u2019s project at Associated British Ports\u2019 Port of Hull, which comes to 6.5MW.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[1] Peel Ports Group and E.ON embark on \u2018UK\u2019s largest\u2019 solar project<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 ENDS \u2013<\/p>\n\n\n\n
