The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of the availability of opportunities for installing solar panels on commercial properties.

Answered by Michael Shanks

We are aware of the significant potential that commercial rooftops have in supporting our Clean Power mission, and we are working closely with industry to unlock this potential.

Commercial rooftop solar has been a key agenda item at both Solar Council meetings this year as we continue to monitor delivery of the Solar Roadmap actions.
