Solar Power: Industry
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment his department has made of the potential merits of (a) promoting and (b) mandating the installation of solar panels on new large industrial developments.
- Answer
-
Accelerating the deployment of solar on commercial rooftops is at the heart of our clean energy mission.
The Government promotes commercial solar by various means, including permitted development rights and fiscal incentives.
Future Buildings Standards will be introduced later this year to ensure that all newly built commercial buildings are fit for a net zero future. We expect these standards to encourage the installation of solar panels.
