From Opportunity To Infrastructure: Scaling Rooftop Solar In Commercial Real Estate

‘From Opportunity to Infrastructure: Scaling Rooftop Solar in Commercial Real Estate’ explores how the UK can unlock the significant potential of its commercial rooftops. Produced with Cushman & Wakefield, and supported by Forsters and Push Power, the report draws on insights from 70 organisations representing more than £500 billion of real estate assets, alongside industry roundtables and wider market analysis.

The research examines current adoption across the sector, the commercial and environmental case for investment, and the practical barriers holding back deployment, from leasing complexity and grid constraints to regulatory uncertainty. It also sets out a series of policy recommendations designed to improve investment conditions, reduce complexity and help rooftop solar become a more established part of the UK’s energy infrastructure.
