What installers are asking for in the UK solar boom image

As solar and battery storage expand across UK homes and businesses, installers are seeing strong demand for integrated energy systems that boost self-consumption and cut electricity costs. Insights from EUPD Research reveal the key market drivers, barriers and technology trends shaping the next phase of the UK’s distributed energy transition.

The United Kingdom is entering a new phase in its energy transition, where distributed solar generation and battery storage are becoming increasingly central to achieving national decarbonisation goals. With binding net zero targets by 2050 and ambitions to deliver a fully decarbonised power system by 2030, policymakers are placing greater emphasis on expanding clean energy across households, small businesses and commercial rooftops.

Under the government’s Clean Power 2030 Action Plan, solar PV and battery storage are emerging as key pillars of the country’s strategy to strengthen energy security, improve grid flexibility and help consumers manage rising electricity costs.

Residential and small commercial solar paired with storage is expected to play an increasingly important role in the UK’s distributed energy transition.
