What is the financial support framework for solar PV projects?

Box 3 sets out the financial support framework which solar PV projects can access. Government’s main mechanism to drive the deployment of solar PV is the financial support it provides. Without this support, solar PV would not be able to compete in the electricity market as its costs are currently higher than those of conventional generation.

How do we support solar PV?

Support for solar PV should assess and respond to the impacts of deployment on: grid systems balancing; grid connectivity; and financial incentives – ensuring that we address the challenges of deploying high volumes of solar PV. 7. This Roadmap sets out these principles – covering what has been done to date, and where further work is needed.

How does government support the deployment of solar PV?

Government’s main mechanism to drive the deployment of solar PV is the financial support it provides. Without this support, solar PV would not be able to compete in the electricity market as its costs are currently higher than those of conventional generation. Over time, however, as costs of solar PV come down, this support will be reduced.

Should solar PV be supported in the UK?

I. Support for solar PV should allow cost-effective projects to proceed and to make a cost-effective contribution to UK carbon emission objectives in the context of overall energy goals – ensuring that solar PV has a role alongside other energy generation technologies in delivering carbon reductions, energy security and affordability for consumers.

What is a PV project guide?

The guide provides public and private buyers with an overview of all the steps they need to take to realise a PV project. From defining the project size, arranging financing and subsidies, obtaining permissions and insurances, and many more key steps.

Should solar PV be supported?

Support for solar PV should ensure proposals are appropriately sited, give proper weight to environmental considerations such as landscape and visual impact, heritage and local amenity, and provide opportunities for local communities to influence decisions that affect them. IV.
