The Government is looking to facilitate and promote extensive deployment of rooftop solar on industrial and commercial property, including agricultural buildings.

Our Solar Roadmap, published in June, sets out cross-Whitehall engagement to deliver action in the commercial solar space. Delivery of this and the other 71 Solar Roadmap actions is being monitored and supported by the government/industry Solar Council.
