The BBC raises serious concerns, but missed the real story. We invite them to visit UK solar sites and report the full picture. #SolarEnergy #NetZero #EthicalTrade #MadeInUK #CleanEnergy #SupplyChain #EnergyTransition.

It’s time to stop painting clean energy progress as a problem. UK solar is raising standards, protecting rights, and cutting emissions, all at once.

💬 “This is about leadership. We're building a UK clean energy system that is ethical, transparent and globally respected.” – Chris Hewett, Chief Executive, Solar Energy UK.

And it’s already being adopted across the UK solar industry.

📌 SSI is the world’s first independent due diligence scheme for solar supply chains. It exists to identify and eliminate unethical practices — not just talk about them.

📉 Xinjiang now produces just 27% of global polysilicon — down from 50%. That’s due to action from the industry and schemes like the Solar Stewardship Initiative (SSI):

✅ UK-installed panels meet strict UK & international procurement standards. ✅ No evidence of forced labour in these supply chains. ✅ GB Energy will now use only panels from SSI-certified sites.

Over the weekend, a BBC News story circulated about solar supply chains. It was based on inaccurate claims by an MP and one of our members. Let’s set the record straight on UK solar 👇.

Last week the UK solar hit a record 14 GW—covering nearly 40% of demand. And France peaked at 19.5 GW, sending power prices below zero. 🔗Learn more: #SolarEnergy #Renewables #NetZero.

Last week’s electricity market reform update scrapped zonal pricing, was a welcome move. It’s a step towards unlocking investment in solar & storage, but getting the details right will be crucial. 🔗 Our response: #SolarEnergy #EnergyReform.

🌞 #SolarRoadmapSpotlight.NextEnergy Group is bringing solar to schools, with 1,000+ students visiting real solar farms & building EVs after learning about clean energy. 📚 See it in action: 👉 #SolarEducation

📢 Solar Energy UK & Energy & Utility Skills have partnered to build a skilled, diverse solar & storage workforce — vital to tripling UK solar by 2030. Together, we’ll tackle skills gaps, share insights & influence policy to meet climate & energy goals. #SolarSkills #NetZero

📢 Big win for UK solar!.New rules will require solar panels on most new homes in England — saving households ~£500/year, cutting emissions & creating green jobs. ⚡ 90% of new builds to comply.🌍 Common sense climate action. 📖 BBC: #SolarEnergy #NetZero

🌞 What’s life like next to a solar farm?. A decade on, Ashby residents say: not bad at all. Some even prefer panels over new housing. Sheep still graze, the grass still grows and the panels quietly power thousands of homes. Via @BBCNews.

🌞 Myth-busting research from @LancasterUni reveals UK solar farms use just 0.03% of agricultural land, with 95% still available for farming. Many already combine solar panels w/ sheep grazing. Renewable energy and food production CAN coexist. Read more:
