Sharp predicts a bright future for UK solar market

Since the release of the feed-in tariff rates for the UK, Sharp Energy Solutions Europe has announced that it plans to significantly expand its resources in the region as the company expects a large amount of PV uptake within the next couple of years. "So far the UK solar market has lagged behind its European neighbors - but now Britain is taking the opportunity to bring about change in energy policy and simultaneously stimulate industry growth in the field of renewable energies.

 

In our solar module factory in Wales in Wrexham, we have expanded the production capacity of initially 20 to now 280MW." Sharp also anticipates that the FiT rate, of up to 41.3p/kWh (€0.47.4), will draw in a large audience interested in boosting the UK market at Eco Build, the world's largest trade fair for sustainable building in London, running from March 2-4.
