STA ‘bullish’ about UK PV’s potential ahead of Solar Energy UK Roadshows

“Despite the price undertaking between the Chinese and the European Commission, prices have come down and most importantly, electricity prices have gone up – despite the very small amendment that some of the Big Six have put through.

“There are all of those reasons why the market should grow, and I believe it will grow. So we’re really very bullish about 2014 for solar PV.”

The roadshow programme is designed to help companies take advantage of the predicted growth by assessing a number of new, innovative options facing the market:
Affordable storage – all the latest technology on offer and how to sell it to customers
The Renewable Heat Incentive and Green Deal – represent exciting new revenue stream opportunities for PV installers
Balance of systems (BoS) and inverters – how to lower costs and boost competitiveness with system optimisation
Reducing operational costs – how to streamline customer acquisition and marketing
Utility-scale side planning costs – streamline your site-selection process with proper community engagement

The roadshows will visit the following key locations across the UK throughout the month of February:

Monday 3 February – Sandown Park Racecourse, Surrey
Tuesday 4 February – Taunton Racecourse, Somerset
Wednesday 5 February – Huntingdon Racecourse, Cambridgeshire
