Solar photovoltaic technology is a key part of the Government’s strategy for decarbonising energy and increasing energy performance of buildings. Generating electricity from rooftop domestic solar can reduce carbon emissions, protect against electricity price fluctuations, and save money on energy bills. Consuming the electricity generated locally also reduces the amount of electricity lost in electricity transmission and distribution networks.
