Solar PV is a cornerstone of the global energy transition. It is cost-competitive with conventional generation technologies on a standalone basis, despite costs remaining higher than 2021 due to supply chain challenges (Lazards, 2024). The UK and many other countries rely on an aggressive solar rollout to meet net-zero commitments. However, the very success of...Continue Reading

UK renewables face a huge connection challenge:For solar nearly every new project between 5kW and 50MW is grid constrained. The current grid reform should make a huge difference but if we are serious about reducing the multi £bn cost of grid upgrade, we need innovation to exploit every connection to the full.This is where solar tracking can change the rules of...Continue Reading

No other single component can increase solar performance as dramatically as solar tracking can (Green Tech Media). The advantages of solar trackers are well-established at lower latitudes, such as in the southern USA, where 94% of all new solar capacity uses trackers. Yet, fixed solar panels remain the standard across most of Europe because traditional trackers struggle to...Continue Reading

Back in 2018 Corrie Energy Partners began around the simple question; “If tracking is the future of global solar markets, why doesn’t the UK have any trackers deployed?” Fast forward 7 years and almost a million pounds of innovation investment – including crucial support from Innovate UK and Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) – we...Continue Reading
