The Future is Vertical
Transforming UK Solar Strategy Through Agricultural Synergy
VBPV agrivoltaic systems simultaneously deliver energy security, food security, economic efficiency, and nature recovery—eliminating the false choices that have constrained UK renewable energy policy.
Critical 6-12 Month Window to Influence UK Solar Strategy
Currently, 1,546 ground-mounted solar projects totaling 35.7 GW are under construction, awaiting construction, or in planning (out of 3,386 total projects representing 52.6 GW). The vast majority are designed as Traditional Mounted Photovoltaic (TMPV) systems.

Each project that receives planning approval and proceeds to construction locks in the TMPV technology choice for 25-30 years.
⏰ After this window closes, the opportunity to capture £161-187 billion in system savings will be lost for a generation.

Why VBPV Transforms UK Energy
Vertical Bifacial Photovoltaic (VBPV) agrivoltaic systems eliminate the false choice between energy security and food security, delivering superior performance across all metrics.
Vertical panels are ideal for urban environments and areas with limited space.
Captures sunlight effectively during morning and evening, smoothing out the daily energy curve.
Less affected by snow and dust, leading to lower maintenance and better year-round performance.
Reduce your electricity bills and gain energy independence with a smaller footprint.
The Evidence is Clear. The Technology is Proven.
Explore the detailed benefits across energy generation, agriculture, grid infrastructure, and biodiversity.
Triple Win: Energy, Agriculture & Grid
VBPV agrivoltaic systems deliver unprecedented benefits across energy generation, agricultural productivity, and grid infrastructure - proving that we don't need to choose between energy security and food security.
