UK Businesses Set to Benefit from Updated Solar Roadmap

By Elemental Consulting Group in Industry News

The UK’s updated Solar Roadmap, unveiled this week, sets out a bold vision to double national solar capacity by 2030. It opens up major opportunities for businesses across sectors—particularly in manufacturing, education, healthcare, and commercial property—to cut energy costs, improve resilience, and move closer to Net Zero.

With new government support and simplified planning and grid processes, there’s never been a better time to take action—and practical support is available.
A National Strategy with Local Impact

The roadmap, available on GOV.UK, outlines the deployment of rooftop solar on 200 schools and 200 hospitals, underpinned by funding from schemes like the Warm Homes Plan. Planning hurdles are being lowered, grid connections accelerated, and guidance is being issued to make installations easier—even on rented or shared sites.

For estates of all types—from regional NHS trusts and universities to logistics hubs, food production, and multi-site retailers—the financial opportunity is substantial. Rooftop solar can reduce electricity bills by up to 80%, especially for high-usage buildings like warehouses or clinical environments.

Solar doesn’t just offer savings. It provides greater energy security, stronger ESG credentials, and a way to future-proof estates against rising grid costs.
