Scotland is set to reform its planning rules for solar energy to incentivise rooftop installations across the nation.

More than 8,500 new jobs could be created in Scotland by the end of the decade if the solar sector’s target of 6GW is reached.

Solar Energy Scotland has called on the government to remove legacy planning barriers for both large and small solar developments.

Solar Energy Scotland’s calls for the Scottish Parliament to make key policy changes to support solar have been backed by a new motion put forward by Fergus Erwing MSP, stressing the need to scale-up solar deployment.

Solar Energy Scotland has called on the government to set a minimum target of 4GW of installed solar capacity by 2030, as it asks it to raise its game.

As the Scottish election campaigns get underway, Solar Energy Scotland chair Thomas McMillan has called on political parties to up their solar ambitions.
