📢 Solar Energy UK & Energy & Utility Skills have partnered to build a skilled, diverse solar & storage workforce — vital to tripling UK solar by 2030. Together, we’ll tackle skills gaps, share insights & influence policy to meet climate & energy goals. #SolarSkills #NetZero

📢 Big win for UK solar! New rules will require solar panels on most new homes in England — saving households ~£500/year, cutting emissions & creating green jobs. ⚡ 90% of new builds to comply 🌍 Common sense climate action 📖 BBC: lnkd.in/erWJrDCt #SolarEnergy #NetZero #CleanEnergy #UKHousing

RUKCymru, in collaboration with @solarenergyuk.bsky.social & Marine Energy Wales, has launched a new report offering the most complete national assessment of the full economic, social & environmental value of all renewables out to 2035, & a clear roadmap for realising their potential in Wales:

💡 UK electricity bills are high — but don’t blame net zero. A new @carbonbrief.org factcheck shows it's expensive gas, not renewables, that’s driving up costs. Gas set the market price 98% of the time in 2021, even when cheaper wind & solar were available. 🔗 www.carbonbrief.org/factcheck-wh...

🌞 What’s life like next to a solar farm? A decade on, Ashby residents say: not bad at all. Some even prefer panels over new housing. Sheep still graze, the grass still grows and the panels quietly power thousands of homes. 🔗 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Solar Energy UK backs a new Energy Bill amendment to ensure GB Energy supports clean power and ethical supply chains — rejecting products linked to forced labour. A vital move for a fair, net zero future. 🔗 solarenergyuk.org/news/solar-e... #SolarUK #NetZero #EthicalEnergy #EnergyBill

🌞📊 Myth-busting research from @lancasteruni.bsky.social reveals UK solar farms use just 0.03% of agricultural land, with 95% still available for farming. Many already combine solar panels with sheep grazing. Renewable energy and food production CAN coexist. Read more: ow.ly/hPoQ50VBprk

💡Did You Know? Solar power & battery storage is powering up the UK’s economy. The sectors are expected to almost triple their annual contribution to £5.1bn by 2035, while employing well over 40,000 people, according to our latest report. Download our latest report: solarenergyuk.org/resource/the...

🌞 How sustainable is your solar supply chain? Our latest briefing explores ESG risks, traceability, and how the UK solar sector is driving responsible sourcing through the Solar Stewardship Initiative. 📖 Read more: ow.ly/Y02Z50Vnvth #SolarEnergy

📈 ☀️ 77% support solar! Latest data reveals strong & growing public backing for solar development in the UK. 🌱 Plus, 53% see biodiversity benefits & ⚡ 43% cite low-cost energy. 👉 Dive into the data: ow.ly/xUeT50Vluhi

☀️ UK solar power is BOOMING! 🚀 50% growth expected in 2025! 3.3-3.5GW of new capacity, including major ground-mounted projects, rooftop solar, and residential installations. The future is bright for clean energy in the UK! www.solarpowerportal.co.uk/uk-solar-dep... #SolarEnergy

☀️ Solar Energy UK welcomes the approval of Heckington Fen & West Burton solar farms! These projects will power 244,000+ homes, cut emissions & boost biodiversity—driving the UK towards net zero. 📖 Read more about each project at ow.ly/vzQ950UNCEM and ow.ly/x9sx50UNCEL. #SolarPower #RenewableEnergy

Our Chief Executive @chrishewett.bsky.social spoke at the House of Lords on the energy grid & solar's role in reaching net-zero by 2030! ☀️🔌 Key issues: projections for 2030-35 & stable policy beyond. Watch the full session: www.parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/...

The National Energy System Operator is cutting red tape for solar projects, slashing delays and boosting renewables. A big step forward for Ed Miliband's "solar rooftop revolution." #SolarPower #RenewableEnergy

🌞🌱 Discover how solar farms support British agriculture with steady incomes, biodiversity gains & food security. 🎥 Watch now: ow.ly/Iubu50UrIpn Thanks to ILOS, Low Carbon, Island Green Power & Boom Power for their support in bringing this story to life.

🌞 UK solar smashing targets! Current capacity heading to 20GW by year-end w/ 180k+ new installations. "The industry persistently exceeds expectations & will continue to do so" - @chrishewett.bsky.social . Read more on the exciting developments ahead 👇 solarenergyuk.org/news/solar-s...

🌞 Solar Supply Chain Breakthrough! The Solar Stewardship Initiative (SSI) has launched its Supply Chain Traceability Standard, promoting transparency, ethical sourcing, and sustainable growth in solar PV. Learn more: ow.ly/We6150UpIYU 👉 Get involved: lnkd.in/eUkv349d #SolarEnergy

☀️ Big news from the Solar Stewardship Initiative (SSI): their multi-stakeholder governance framework is approved! SSI seeks non-industry board members to shape a fair, sustainable solar future. Learn more: ow.ly/HIMS50UgNyM #SolarEnergy

Durham University finds tripling UK solar to 60GW by 2030 cuts costs, emissions, and gas reliance. Why it matters: - 12% savings. - Jobs from rooftop & solar farms. - 80% of homes pair solar with batteries. 🚧 NESO caps solar at 47.4GW—missing out. 🌞 Our call: Set 50-60GW targets & reform grid.

Great news for Welsh renewables! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🌞 Smaller solar farms in Wales can now bypass ministerial approval, speeding up projects and unlocking billions in green investment. With a £46.8 billion renewable energy opportunity by 2035, Wales is set for job creation and economic growth. ➡ lnkd.in/edQt-fzB
