Forsters supports new British Property Federation research to accelerate rooftop solar across UK commercial real estate
Forsters is supporting newly commissioned research by the British Property Federation (BPF) examining the legal, commercial and practical challenges of deploying rooftop solar at scale across UK commercial real estate.
As the UK works towards its net zero carbon targets, commercial buildings have a critical role to play in the generation of renewable energy. Rooftop solar has the potential to make a significant contribution, yet progress across the sector has been uneven. The BPF’s research aims to identify the key barriers preventing wider adoption and to develop practical policy recommendations for Government and industry.
Victoria Towers, Head of Commercial Real Estate said:
“Our clients are eager to play their part in the UK’s transition to cleaner energy, but too often they face a range of commercial, legal and practical barriers when seeking to install solar panelling. This research is an important step in identifying the key issues and suggesting practical solutions that will hopefully give property owners and developers the clarity and confidence they need to unlock the full potential of their rooftops.”
Further details on the research can be found on the British Property Federation’s website.
