With the climate emergency accelerating, it is vital that we do everything we can to limit carbon emissions to mitigate the impact of global rises in temperature. This means moving away from energy produced by burning fossils and transitioning to clean energy production that vastly reduces or eliminates carbon emissions.

Harnessing the sun’s energy is one of the most effective and efficient ways to produce sustainable electricity.

Developments such as this one are also essential because they help enhance the UK’s energy security, making the country less dependent on imports of oil and gas from other parts of the world which can be subject to large costs swings and interrupted supply.
