Read Dr Chris Jardine’s presentations from this year’s Solar Energy UK Conference.
Dr Chris Jardine gave two high profile presentations at this year’s Solar Energy UK conference in Birmingham 14-16th October 2014.
In his first talk, Chris outlined the barriers to commercial rooftop solar in the UK, which are mainly seen as a poor alignment of business priorities and a 20-year FiT. Chris goes on to propose how a shorter FiT may help boost the rooftop solar market.
In his second talk Chris gave an overview of Joju Solar’s schools work over the summer of 2014 – 632 kWp installed on 29 roofs at 10 schools and all done in 5 weeks. Chris looks at the aspects that were difficult (planning, lack of site plans, legal sign off) and what was easy (the build programme itself).
