FAQs 6

What is a solar photovoltaic system?

Solar photovoltaic is a renewable energy technology that utilizes sunlight in order to generate electricity. A photovoltaic system is comprised of one or multiple solar panels, made up of solar photovoltaic cells, and a solar inverter.

Are solar energy and battery storage a good investment?

Solar energy and battery storage support employment in good quality and high productivity jobs, with an average GVA per job of £88,800 in 2024, over 40% larger than the UK average. Solar energy and battery storage contribute to economic activity across the UK while supporting the energy transition.

How do solar energy and battery storage support economic activity?

Solar energy and battery storage support economic activity in several ways, as shown below. At the end of 2024 the UK had a total 20 GW of solar capacity and 7.5 GW of battery storage capacity. Over the period to 2035, activity across both technologies could expand significantly.

Can quantum physics and nanotechnology improve solar energy?

Innovations in quantum physics and nanotechnology can potentially increase the effectiveness of solar panels and double, or even triple, the electrical input of the solar power systems. When considering the transition to solar energy, it's important to weigh both the benefits and drawbacks. The disadvantages of solar energy are:

Why do we need more solar & battery storage?

Increasing the UK’s solar and battery storage capacity are key to transitioning away from fossil fuels and the achievement of a clean energy system.
