To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps his Department have taken to provide (a) guidance and (b) advice to companies providing leases for solar panels on residential homes.
Answer
Graham StuartThe Government is aware that there are schemes which allow homeowners to lease their roof space in exchange for free solar panels under commercial 'rent a roof' schemes. However, as the various marketing approaches and offers that commercial ‘rent a roof’ companies employ are not part of Government schemes, the Government does not prescribe how such arrangements should work.
