UK Solar Air Conditioning 2025

What is the UK solar roadmap 2025?

The UK Government has published its long-awaited Solar Roadmap 2025, outlining how it plans to increase solar capacity to 45–47 GW by 2030, up from nearly 19 GW as of May 2025. This target forms part of the wider Clean Power Action Plan, which aims to fully decarbonise the electricity system by the end of the decade.

What is great British Energy (GBE) doing in 2025?

In March 2025, Great British Energy (GBE) announced its first major project, which will enable around 200 schools and up to 200 hospitals in England to install rooftop solar power and complementary decarbonisation technologies. This will help drive down energy bills for schools and hospitals, and increase NHS solar generation by 300%.

Can the UK compete in the global market for solar panels?

While the UK is unlikely to be able to compete in the existing global market for conventional solar panels, there is scope to grow industries producing balance of system components (broadly all components apart from solar panels),48 creating opportunities for key industries like steel.

Can Britain reach the Clean Power 2030 range?

These scenarios cover all types of solar, including large-scale ground-mount, commercial and domestic rooftop for the period up to 2035, for Great Britain.19 Illustrative deployment scenarios show that reaching the Clean Power 2030 range is achievable, but will require significant action.
