Long overdue and something we desperately need, along with more pressure for warehouse units to have solar on their roofs.
I hate that NIMBY’s are stopping solar farms (and reform basically want to ban and scale solar and batteries), but this would be a much better way to get solar out there.

These will be nice to keep my car cool in these unseasonably warm times.

Won’t do much for charging cars, one solar panel would take about 60 hours to charge a car, but someone will certainly make a lot of money.

The invisible man has spoken. But the solar panels are made in China ? And the UK- US trade deal has just given the US a veto over all new Chinese investment ?

I’m of the view that solar should be absolutely everywhere it’s possible to stick a panel on. Every house roof, garage roof, bus stop, etc etc. even if you can only fit two 300w panels on a bus stop roof it’s going to be enough to generate enough power to turn a few streetlights on
Storage is the big Achilles heel because everyone thinks that battery packs are waiting to explode if you even look at them funny

I can’t think of a single thing wrong with this, apart from the lack of „and while we’re at it, we’ll add secure bike parking.“
What’s wrong with this? Anyone?

If there is storage for unused energy, they are great. as it’s affordable clean energy, shade for cars so you don’t burn yourself getting in, and they also can provide a stable shelter for birds to nest.
While they aren’t pretty neither is a car park full of monochrome PCP boxes.
I don’t get arguments against them.

makes sense.If we want energy security renewable would be a way to get it. We are an island. We can generate solar, wind and,tidal power. The Nimby objections to these projects need to be discarded tho its slowing us down for no reason.
Also the grid needs a massive upgrade. One thing i hear is the problem with renewable is the energy grid cant handle the variable loads. This needs sorting.

Should force super stores to install it on their roofs,
Go look at google earth and see the amount of industrial roof space that is just left unused.
But the down side is the power factor correction grid will have to do (big spinning flywheels)

Let’s hope they get built and used before any ’sun dimming‘ is carried out.

This i something I’ve been advocating for a few years now

Do this but build some real power as well I don’t understand why we feel we’ve reached peak power generation. We should be build lots more of all sorts of power so there is an abundance of it and drive down the downstream costs. I think the government should be taking an active hand in this, as no way the private sector will create more power when the profits are so great with the status Qao . Along with defence this is on the key deliverables imo.

Has there been something preventing this? Does it require ministerial approval?
