UK Government Solar Roadmap 2025: Our Response as Local Solar Panel Installers

The UK Government’s newly published Solar Roadmap 2025 has laid down an ambitious but achievable plan: to triple the country’s solar capacity to at least 45GW by 2030.

For local communities, the message is simple, solar isn’t just coming, it’s arriving fast, and the time to get on board is now.

At Wright Renewables, we’re excited by what this means for our customers across Nottinghamshire, South Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, and Derbyshire. As trusted local solar panel installers, we’re proud to be part of a national push towards clean, affordable, home-grown power.

Solar Panels Now Come With Real Incentives

The Roadmap promises a range of benefits and financial supports for homeowners, social landlords, and businesses. A typical UK home with solar could now save up to £500 per year on energy bills. As energy prices rise and the grid gets greener, that figure is likely to grow.

What’s more, the Government is planning to require solar panels on most new homes through the upcoming Future Homes Standard, this is expected this autumn. And for those in social housing, support from the Warm Homes and Social Housing Fund (WH:SHF) will see thousands more rooftops getting PV installations.

Local Worksop based renewable heating installer and Wright Renewables Managing Director, Lee Rolfe, sees this as a pivotal moment:

“The Government’s roadmap confirms what we’ve known for years—solar energy is one of the quickest wins for lowering bills and securing clean energy. At Wright Renewables, we’re ready to deliver the high-quality installations this roadmap demands.”

Where Wright Renewables Fits In

The roadmap identifies that a lot of growth will come from domestic and commercial rooftop solar and that’s exactly where we come in.

We install and maintain solar PV systems designed for homes, schools, small businesses and large commercial premises. Whether it’s a 3.5kW setup for a home in Worksop, or a multi-roof industrial solar array in Sheffield, we provide:

  • Expert system design tailored to your roof
  • Optional battery storage and EV charger integration
  • Ongoing service and maintenance for long-term performance

We’re also an approved delivery partner for OVO Solar & Heating, meaning we meet rigorous industry standards and don’t use subcontractors, just our own vetted engineers.

Heat Pumps + Solar = The Smart Combo

The Roadmap also nods toward smart homes and energy integration, something we already specialise in. Pairing air source heat pumps with solar panels means you can power your heating and hot water using your own roof. It’s a system that pays for itself even faster, especially with battery storage added.

Our team of local air source heat pump installers in Worksop can help you design the perfect solution, one that maximises your savings and carbon reduction.
