Solar continues to be the most popular renewable technology

With the general election approaching, new figures from the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy show that opposition to renewable energy has hit a record low figure of 2%, while support for renewables has increased again, to 84%. Solar is the most popular form of renewables. This is not surprising given its cost-effectiveness, simplicity and reliability.

At Burges Salmon we continue to see new solar schemes coming forward as developers and investors see solar as a key part of the future energy mix.

Solar has continued to be the most popular renewable technology with the public as of September 2019, a factor which must be considered by any prospective government the industry has said. Statistics released by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) shows solar has an 85% approval rate with the public.
