Why now in East of England
The economics lead: rising electricity and grid charges against a typical rooftop-solar payback of about 4–9 years mean the value is there to capture now. On top of that, the 3,937 buildings at EPC Band D–G in East of Englandhave a future-proofing reason too, the minimum to let is Band E today, and the government's long-term MEES target is EPC B for large non-domestic buildings (over 1,000 m²), expected ~2031. Solar cuts bills and lifts a building's rating. See the MEES & commercial EPC guide.
