UK Solar Roadmap 2030

1. More Support for Rooftop Solar

The government’s roadmap highlights the vital role rooftop installations will play in meeting the 2030 target. It promises simpler grid connections, better coordination with local councils, and stronger backing for home solar systems.

That means less red tape and more opportunity for households to take control of their energy. Solar is no longer just for early adopters, it’s becoming a mainstream home upgrade.

For homeowners, that translates into easier installations, shorter waiting times, and a stronger supply chain of certified installers (like us!) ready to deliver quality systems

2. Lower Costs, Bigger Savings

One of the most immediate benefits is affordability. The government has already extended the 0 % VAT rate on solar panels and batteries for homes until at least 2027, effectively cutting upfront costs by hundreds of pounds.

On top of that, homeowners can still earn through the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), getting paid for the surplus energy their system sends back to the grid.

Add rising electricity prices into the mix, and the numbers are compelling:

A typical UK household could save around £500 a year on bills with a properly sized solar system.

When you combine these savings with available incentives, solar becomes one of the smartest long-term investments a homeowner can make.

3. Higher Home Value and Energy Independence

Homes with solar panels are more desirable, more energy-efficient, and less exposed to energy price shocks.

As the UK doubles its solar capacity, buyers are starting to view renewable upgrades as standard,  not optional extras. That means your investment could not only reduce your bills but add value to your property, too.

Plus, with optional battery storage, you can store excess energy and use it later, keeping your home powered even when grid prices peak.
