Overall the renewable energy sector has been steadily growing over time and at the current moment, the united kingdom has an estimated 58,000 LCREE (Low Carbon Renewable Energy) businesses producing low-carbon electricity. With 6,000 businesses employing solar or photovoltaic methodologies of extracting energy the United Kingdom may not be a world leader but is certainly improving its emissions. Overall the majority of the profit from the solar industry comes from solar energy plants thought solar energy produced £114,000 in the construction industry as of the year 2020. Overall the total income for the solar industry was £1,490,000 of which an estimated £1,480,500 in revenue through the sale of electricity.
From the statistics above it is clear that the application for solar energy is vast and under-utilised in its current state. So this raises the question of what can be done to improve solar energy utilisation.
