PANEL WEBINAR – Sunny Spells Ahead: How to ensure the success of solar in the UK

The UK may not be a sunshine haven, but solar has great potential to bring down energy bills and produce a sizeable chunk of our electricity needs. In 2024, solar produced more than 5% of our total electricity needs, and with its growing deployment, it’s likely to take an even bigger share in the future.

Given the solar industry “persistently smashes through expectations of growth,” according to Chris Hewett, Chief Executive of Solar Energy UK, how do we make sure that it’s set up for success, ensuring Government policy is aligned, and that these projects can be deployed safely and efficiently.

Join us for an engaging webinar where industry experts will delve into the latest developments in the solar industry in the UK. This session will not only explore cutting-edge innovations but also place a significant emphasis on the importance of testing to optimise solar energy utilise. It’ll discuss:

1. Emerging PV technologies: Overview of next-generation solar panels, including organic photovoltaics (OPVs) and perovskite cells.
2. Grid integration techniques: How modern solar energy can be integrated seamlessly with existing grid infrastructures.
3. Energy storage: Exploring the latest in battery technology and energy storage systems to optimise solar energy utilisation.
4. Government policies and incentives: How are current policies affecting solar energy and what changes to legislation or planning could be on the horizon?
5. Testing and validation: Exploring the critical role of testing in ensuring the safety, reliability, and performance of solar technologies.
