The UK’s Solar Roadmap: A Bright Future for Clean Energy

25 Jul

The Government’s Solar Roadmap has outlined a bold pathway to accelerate solar deployment to 45–47 GW by 2030, creating an estimated 35,000 clean energy jobs, powering homes and businesses, and helping consumers save around £500/year on energy bills through rooftop solar installations.

Rooftop solar is front and centre of this ambition. From warehouse roofs and industrial estates to schools, car parks and new-build homes, the plan unlocks the vast untapped potential sitting right above us. New solar-ready standards for buildings and increased support for retrofitting existing roofs mean solar will become a standard feature, not a premium upgrade.

In particular, the Government wants to see:

More rooftop solar on homes—from new builds to social housing and private ownership.
Commercial roofspace maximised—including on factories, offices, farms and logistics centres.
Portable rooftop systems—offering options for renters and flat-dwellers.
Car park solar canopies—providing generation and shade while supporting EV charging.

At East Green Energy, we’re incredibly excited by this direction. With solar now a central pillar of Britain’s energy security and sustainability strategy, the potential impact on England is massive. Our country has a huge stock of suitable rooftops—commercial, agricultural, and residential—ready to play a part in powering a clean energy future.

For businesses, this roadmap is a clear signal: unused roofspace is now a revenue-generating asset. Whether you’re looking to cut bills, reduce carbon, or show leadership in sustainability, rooftop solar delivers. For homeowners, this means more support and fewer barriers to going solar—with smarter integration into planning and building design.

Are you ready to explore how your roof could help power the UK’s clean energy future—and benefit from lower bills and boosted green credentials? Let’s make it happen.
