Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment she has made of the potential implications for her Department's policies of the report by UCL Energy Institute and CPRE titled 'Rooftop Revolution: The role of solar on buildings and car parks'.

The Government is committed to significantly increasing solar deployment across the UK. Since the report, Government published the Solar Roadmap which sets out how Government and Industry will increase deployment across multifunctional uses of space including rooftops, car parks while maintaining planning protections for our best agricultural land.

The Government does not take a prescriptive approach to the proportion of future solar deployment that should come from rooftops compared with ground-mounted solar.
