Conclusion
Reliance on Power Purchase Agreements demonstrates the barrier that financial viability currently poses to the growth of community rooftop solar. For the Government to achieve its ambition for community-scale rooftop solar in the achievement of the UK’s energy targets, it is essential to develop a stable price mechanism that makes selling electricity to the grid financially viable. The lack of clarity about the application of procurement rules is a major barrier to establishing partnerships between local councils and community energy organisations. (Conclusion, Paragraph 20)
