Key findings
• Current installed solar capacity is small – Britain is
a decade behind the leading European countries
• Some important building blocks for growth are
now falling into place – recently introduced feed
in tariffs have the potential to kick start growth
• PwC expects significant growth in capacity in the
medium term – capacity could reach 1,000 MW
by 2015
• The UK solar industry is not geared up for this
growth – this is especially true for downstream,
e.g. installers
• In order for the UK industry to fully benefit from the
solar potential, significant investment in training,
scale and professionalisation is necessary
• The industry will transform from a cottage industry,
driven by consolidation and new entrants
