The UK government has recently published its Solar Roadmap, laying out plans to deliver up to 70GW of solar capacity by 2035. It’s the strongest signal yet that solar power is not only essential to the country’s energy future – it’s also a smart and accessible solution for homeowners and businesses right now.
We welcome this roadmap. It reflects what we’ve long known: solar works, and it’s time to scale it up. Here’s what the roadmap means in practical terms for people looking to cut energy bills, reduce emissions, and take control of their energy future.
The government has committed to removing some of the barriers that have slowed adoption in the past – things like long grid connection times, complicated planning permission, and unclear incentives.
For our customers, this means:
In short, getting solar on your roof or site is becoming more straightforward – and better supported – than ever before.
Solar has always made sense for homes, but this roadmap makes it even more attractive.
Expect:
We’ve seen firsthand how solar and heat pump systems can dramatically lower household energy costs and now the policy is finally catching up.
Battery Storage is a Key Piece of the Puzzle
The roadmap also places emphasis on solar + battery solutions, which is exactly what we help deliver at OHM Energy.
Batteries allow you to:
With energy prices remaining uncertain, storage offers long-term peace of mind and flexibility.
The Bigger Picture: Supporting Net Zero
The roadmap reinforces solar as a major pillar of the UK’s net zero strategy. And while the targets are national, the solutions are local – one rooftop, one business, one home at a time.
At OHM Energy, we’re proud to support that transition with honest advice, high-performance systems, and full lifecycle support – from design and installation to maintenance and aftercare.
We don’t just install solar, we build confidence in clean energy. Whether you’re a homeowner looking to reduce bills, or a business aiming to decarbonise, we’ll guide you through every step of your solar journey.
Now is the time to take advantage of the momentum.
The government is backing solar, and OHM Energy is here to make it work for you.
