Solar manufacturer Viridian Solar has signed a group deal with Legal & General Modular Homes to see buildings exclusively use clearline fusion roof integrated solar until 2025.
Octopus Energy has announced it will add domestic solar photovoltaic (PV) to its home energy tech installation portfolio, to help customers cut down on energy costs.
YuanTech Solar, a newly established solar PV manufacturer based in China, has confirmed it has received Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) certification granting greater access to the UK market.
