The Power of Solar

Our latest essay collection, The Power of Solar, explores the vital role that solar energy can play in delivering the government's ambitions for economic growth, energy security and decarbonisation. Bringing together perspectives from across politics, industry, research and civil society, the collection examines how the expansion of solar power, particularly at scale, can help drive national renewal while supporting nature recovery, strengthening farming incomes, and enhancing Britain's resilience in an increasingly uncertain world.

We are delighted to have convened a diverse range of voices to explore the opportunities of accelerating solar deployment. From cutting energy costs and boosting investment to improving energy independence and delivering environmental benefits, these essays make the case for ambitious political leadership and practical action to unlock the full potential of solar power across the UK.

We are very grateful to Island Green Power for sponsoring this essay collection.
