2024 Set for Record Year of Renewable Installations

The UK renewable energy sector is on track for record solar PV installations in 2024, driven by falling equipment costs, strong installer demand, and growing consumer awareness of the financial benefits of solar and battery storage.

Industry data shows that residential solar installations have increased significantly year-on-year, with battery storage co-installations now becoming the norm rather than the exception. Commercial solar is also seeing renewed growth, with more businesses seeking to reduce energy costs amid persistently high electricity prices.

At Hamilton Hartley Ltd, we have seen strong demand across all product categories — solar panels, battery storage, inverters, and EV chargers — reflecting the broad-based nature of the renewable energy boom.

As a trade distributor based in Bradford, we are well placed to serve the growing network of solar and renewable energy installers across Yorkshire and the North of England, as well as nationwide via our fast delivery service.

Looking ahead to 2025, the outlook for the sector remains very positive. Government support for heat pumps via the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, continued EV uptake, and rising energy bills are all expected to sustain strong demand for renewable energy installations.
