Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps she is taking to support solar panels on a) domestic roofs, b) private business roofs and c) government owned roofs in Devon.

Government has confirmed an extra £100m this year to support around 11,000 solar and battery installations in social homes, while enabling homeowners to apply for government-backed low and zero-interest loans to install solar panels.

For businesses, tax relief and business rates exemptions apply, while changes to permitted development rights mean that most rooftop projects no longer require a planning application.

Great British Energy and government have invested up to £300 million to install solar on around 350 schools, 300 NHS sites and multiple military sites in England.

These measures ensure Devon's households and businesses can benefit from clean, renewable energy.
